I've had good success in real estate and I want to take my knowledge into personal investing.

@Charles KennedyMost people are too afraid of failure to even try for success.

I wish you all the best of luck and am excited to see you achieve your goal by 40.

With a little bit of luck and LOTS of hard work, you will be on your way to success very fast. 

I've learned here that developing better systems, delegation of work/ responsibilities and building a team is the only way to maintain or increase project flow with the goal of achieving a better quality of life.  

For AC, you need separate ductwork for supplies and returns between the units, separate blowers, and you also need separate cooling systems - condenser and coiling coil; you might be able to use mini-split units to achieve that.For hot water, you need the piping separate for the hot water, and then you will need multiple water heat sources with one per unit.

The local zoning attorney who you see on a lot of cases online for the government website or in the newspaper generally knows the odds of success and how the local body sees things.

I wouldn't become an agent first, that would just fill your head with ways to complicate and slow down the money making process of being a successful investor.

A successful tactic for us was to begin with a target renter profile first and then look for a property that fits that profile.
