A lot of investors jump into becoming a landlord only to find out that it is not as simple as they thought it would be.  

I don't know if there's a wrong decision..... it's just a matter of picking one and going with it.

Im wondering how much to invest in my Roth IRA and SIMPLE, HSA, vanguard index funds, and how much to leave in cash and set aside for buying a rental property.

No simple answer to that. 

Was thinking about setting up a simple WordPress booking site, and I’ve downloaded a couple apps like Cozi (literally just downloaded it) and was thinking about setting up individual properties as “family members” etc but... love to hear what’s proven as easy and simple.

Keep it simple and renovate them just how you would any other rental unit (paint, appliances, hard wood floors) basic things that you can get from Home Depot. 

Once you have that, it will be easier to pick markets and property types.
