We're intending to buy our first deal this year and plan on having a PM from the get go, just factored into the cost of doing business. 

There are a lot of factors that make an area ideal for multifamily investing: low unemployment rates, low crime, increasing rent prices, low purchase prices, high tenant demand, and more.

As far as not being great with tools, you can always pay someone to do anything but you just have to factor that into your numbers.

While there are no guarantees, firsthand feedback from people in your network will go a long way toward finding the right person for the job.The beauty of networking is that even if your immediate contacts don’t have anyone in mind for you, their contacts might.

The determining factor for maximum benefit to you is whether the plan aligns with your situation and goals.   

How quickly you find tenants will depend on multiple factors; how nice is your place, how nice is the area, and the time of the year.

So, the land very well could be worth not much at all depending on some of those factors.

It's a beautiful place to live though!

As long as the tenant screening is strong, your turnovers would be minimal (not factoring in life altering event). 

Seems like you haven't factored in maintenance, cap ex, lawn care, property management, or vacancy. 50% Rule says $1,800 in expenses additional to your mortgage payment.
