I have debated hiring a team member instead but I have different goals than being a landlord.How many units do you have?

Debating on doing myself or hiring out.

Now I am debating on just hiring it out to keep my relationship with my electrician going and so I don't have to deal with the hassles of meeting inspectors.My mindset on this has taken a complete flip. 

Now I'm having second thoughts on how I should go about the next 2-3 years, so I'm debating 2 options:Option 1:  -Continue with the original plan, attending flight school in either Hillsboro, Oregon, Troutdale, Oregon, or Tacoma, Washington using the G.i.bill and receiving BAH around $1700-$2100.

The only side thing I have been debating is to whether or not make it blocked off from main level (i.e. put small kitchen in the basement) since I will be living with my girlfriend and she doesn't feel 100% safe with someone else having access to main living quarters. 

I'm new to the investing world and I'm debating on whether or not an FHA loan would be beneficial or if maybe its not for me and will cause me to slow down in buying more properties in the future.

So... here is the background story. i inherited a property with my sister as a 50/50. probate is about to end and i have to come up with a decision on how to move forward. my sister lives in ny and doesn't care what happens as long as she can detach from the property. the house is worth 200k. 1: i can either sell it and pay all that fun stuff that goes along with selling a property and use the difference to invest.2: i can buy out my sister for 100k, take her name off with an Assumption, and rent it out with a cashflow of $1000 a month mortgage free.3: i can buy out my sister for 100k and take her name off the, take her name off by refinancing, refinance for 100k get my money back (to invest in other properties), and then rent it out having 100k equity, and cashflow would be around $500.after a long time debating i think the 3rd option was the best but after asking Brandon in the 727 webinar he said that 3 sounded like a good idea but i had to be careful since I'm taking out a large chunk of cash. he looked tentative to say yes. i felt like he was holding back.

I noticed how the LLC vs personal name purchase debate continues to rage on BP.This week,I experienced another good reason buying with an LLC is a major trap.My cash out refy process was going without a single hitch until I got a call today saying underwriting could not go to closing unless we quit claim the deed to my personal name.But here's the kick in the teeth:Even if I do the quit claim,they would then need 6 months of additional seasoning wait time in my name to reconsider the refy.Bummer.Bigly.Especially since I already lined up an apartment deal that needed to be funded with the expected cash out...Double Jeopardy.Classic.Don't fall into the LLC trap.Now you have one more reason to think twice about it

@Daniel Johnson Continuing that discussion, a good strategy I've debated using myself is to budget ~$30k in available funds per house (not including monthly interest payments during the flip).

I've debated a lot about actually getting my real estate license because I don't plan on selling houses, at least not right away.
