I would like a referral for an attorney who is good at tenant collections, forever till collected, in the Baltimore Maryland Area.

For all new investors, don't place yourselves in a tight situation where flipping the property takes forever to complete.Insurance and utilitiesNot just the house and renovation costs, there's also legal costs, insurance, and taxes that go with it.

It'll take me forever to grow that kinda capital.My question to the group is, should I be trying to fund 2 Roth IRA's to take advantage of the compound interest in the future or push everything towards real estate? 

Thanks If your net positive cashflow is 2.5x your personal housing expense plus all monthly consumer debt obligations when factoring in the loan amount you are requesting, yes you can do a cash out refi as a normal fannie loan without any other income aside from rent.If you can't check that box, there are "non-qm" loans that'll do it based on the cashflow of the property itself, no DTI calculation. 

Luckily there are ways to pull out equity and 1031 to change investing plans in the future and you aren’t a stuck doing one thing forever.    

You could house hack one of these but without the appreciation acquired over time or the value add, your profit will be consumed at selling.I agree with @Nick Foster on get to know the area before purchase but I also think that it takes at least 5 years (without a value add) of ownership to have a decent chance of being financially better than having rented (due to the selling costs and the likely negative initial cash flow).Rent. 

Basically you have to do a mini probate, then have all potential heirs sign a 'no objection' letter and THEN you have to sign to pay all costs the title insurance agency may have now and forever in the future if there is litigation. 

I argue that it's bad for business as there are more paperwork requirements like consumer guide to agency & agency disclosures that 90% of PM's are not aware of.

Education needs to go on forever. 

Going to the county courthouse is an optional  laborious ,time consuming way to do it..
