While these homes are still selling and having bidding wars on the Eastside, I have seen decent price cuts in particular markets.

Vacancy is a huge cost so I’d focus on cutting that down vs always being at the top of market rents all the time.

For tenants who became unemployed and hours cut I reduced their rent.

Having the HOA is a double edged sword, they ensure things are kept in great working order and you don't have to be there to inspect the roof etc.

I want to start with single family to cut my teeth with REI and moving to multi family.

Its also closer to my job and cut my driving time from 45 min to a 1 hr depending on traffic to 16 min to 20 min tops.

& then the nephew is cutting your communication with the LL/seller. 

To find deals, talk to wholesalersto find education, talk to investors if you don't want to get educated or learn how to find great deals and you want someone else to make you feel like they are on your side while taking a disproportionate cut for the value they provide, talk to a broker

They are going to cut a big long slit in the ground, so it's likely going to impact whatever you have there. 

I’ve also posted my question on a few immigration forums/fb groups but have yet to find a clear cut answer.I have pieced together that I can form an LLC, however I cannot work or receive a salary from that LLC.
