I'm currently renting both 1st and second floors and staying in the basement.

A great way to get started figuring out WHAT those questions are is by reading through this free guide "The Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide": https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin....

I've read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide and continue to read blogs as able during my commute. 

Does anyone have a guide to legit, cost effective VA's?

This is what I have come up with for myself.I am going to specialize in FSBO properties, buy and hold/flip investors, facebook ads, and FB group posts for buyer leadsI created a pretty lengthy "how to sell your home" guide for FSBO properties, I plan to stay in front of other agents by actually knocking on doors, and delivering the guide to them in person, and then using that to set up a follow up appointment when I can deliver a free CMA. 

Good luck and stay motivated @Joshua Martin!

We had the utility between tenants and it was a bad deal for us as we had several tenants fall behind on there bills and utility company transferred into our name auto even while they tenant was living there and fell behind on there rent then they continued to stay through eviction running bills up and we was not able to shut off as we was not a utility company and land lords are not allowed to take it away here in Ohio so we got screwed and still trying to chase them from job to job attaching wages its been years.

that's an interesting perspective - I never thought of renting a bicycle out - the charging station is spot on - I also like the kitchen idea with spices and what not - when we stayed in a cabin up in Bass Lake - they had everything you can think of - anytime we needed anything in the kitchen or  around the cabin it was there.
