Jake & I were both hard working, family men who were focused on multifamily and the long game.

Quote from @Eric James: Somebody needs to repost that "core 4" stooges photo  that was @Mike Dymski one of the funniest post I have seen on BP in a long time if not ever

A lot of these blogs I am reading are from out of state with very low cost of living so I think If someone from this area could answer this, it would be very helpful for me.So my husband and I are currently living in one unit for the past 4 years that is part of a triplex/multifamily property in Belmont Heights in Long Beach, Ca.

So, just like any other sale it allows them to require the mortgage be paid.However, it is very uncommon for them to do that as long as you keep paying the mortgage.

Possible, but risky to do it all long distance.#5 For the most part all our auctions are on the same day...1st Tuesday of the month. 

I have long wanted to hold rental properties as retirement assets and to supplement my income from my full time job.

Some states require landlords to accept Section 8, while others do not.There's also a process with the landlord passing an inspection, signing the contract, etc.I recommend you contact your housing office and ask them what the process involves and how long it will take. 

BP, I've been on a long search for technology and applications that allow me to automate parts of the tenant journey (leads, apt tours, screening, rent collection...).

I was a lender/banker that, after a long career on consumer mortgage and then commercial banking/lending, went to work for a community bank in Florida that was operating under a "memorandum of understanding" with regulators.
