Monitor your score and if you've got credit cards/student loans/etc. pay things on time.A few months in advance speak with lenders about pre-approval.Also, if possible, whether through an investor who buys often or through a contractor or RE inspector, do some property walkthroughs and you'll quickly learn what to look out for repair-wise when viewing a property.

I remember the review of the book said it was pretty advanced, but I loved it because it had real meat not just a lot of fluff. 

Thanks for any help/insight in advance!

Were you advancing funds to pay the first or did you assume the current tenants were paying the first?

Let me know what you think.I have considered Expenses as:Vancancy, (3 units currently vacant)Cap Ex (likely to need to roofs soon, HVACs are newish, unsure of water heaters)Maintenance (assume 6% to keep up the property, will adjust after inspection)Lawn Care (currently $300/mo. assume I can keep that contract.)Taxes (Currently $3100)Insurance (not sure what to expect, guessing 1200/property)Flood Ins: Not needed in this areaThanks in advance BP community,Winn and Kaitlin Merwin
