I have excellent drive and motivation, and I feel my background in banking gives me an advantage to understanding the different types of loans and the finer portions of the lending aspect, since most people seem to finance homes. 

Everyone has motivation to get them out.

@Nathan Murray the answer to this question may depend highly on exactly what type of loan you are looking for as I use two different banks, 1 for commercial lending (5 year balloon, 20-25 year amortization) and more products for rehab versus another for conventional lending (30 year fixed).

I am super motivated and passionate about the business.

Money is a store of productivity from which others benefit, including you. 

Most quality product is trading in the 5's and 6's. 

I would suggest when trying to find a property manager to make sure they are licensed, in Ohio you have to be a licensed real estate broker to manager property for someone, there are a lot of unlicensed individuals that try to manage property, this is not a good idea as you will not know if they are knowledgeable of all the different laws that affect housing and if they do something wrong it would fall on you.

Hoping to meet some like minded individuals that can help me understand what I am planning to get into, I want to start young and utilize my main benefit which is time. 

I do not want to do a refi on each one individually If I can help it..
