Factor in benefits, employer-paid things like workman's comp, tools, office equipment, and employer's share of social security, and let's budget for at least $100,000/year for those two people to work for you full-time, or else you're not going to get quality employees.To generate that level of income, I'd need around 150 units in a stabilized complex renting units for $700+/month.That said...could you hire someone part-time? 

You truly never know how someone you meet whether it be through a social forum or at a bar, is going to change the dynamic of your business and/or life.Anyways, my passion for real estate investing began in sort of a bizarre way; it more or less blossomed out of the experience I had suing my college landlord.

Use social media to add value to investors (podcast, blog post, your website), and they will find you.

I would use all the social media channels and craigslist, but consider using Zillow as well, particularly because you are selling houses and yours will show up as the least expensive homes.

I make more money off my investments than most people make off of social security or disability.

#3 Are there any tax implications or things I should know if I update for my own use starting this summer vs. right before moving out next summer?

I’d not buy luxury for appreciation unless you play to live in it, enjoy it and be able to unload it with out tax implications in 2 years if you needed too.

A lot of people have been talking about rent strikes on on social media in May.

Of course there are tax implications and transaction costs that make this calculation a little skewed.

I was reading up on the tax implication if one becomes a non resident.
