I am a new investor myself from Louisville but I am really honing in on Southern Indiana, mainly Jeffersonville.

Welcome to Biggerpockets @Intisar Hasaan Check out the Marketplace, you'll find lots of listings from lenders offering their loans and services. 

Either unit 3 will have to use a Laundromat until your tenant in unit 1 leaves, or you'll have to agree on some sort of compensation for the service (not needing to share) that you're taking away.If the tenant was told when they moved in that the laundry would be shared, tell them you're glad they got to enjoy sole use of it for so long and get over it (nicely). 

I would spend summers working at job sites so the construction aspect is not foreign to me.I am also a trained CFP, certified financial planner, so the numbers aspect is not confusing.I suppose the main challenge I have is actually buying a house.

I am looking for an experienced partner/mentor skilled in small starter homes, since I want that to be my main focus to start with.

They are inexperienced with home repair/mainly and would rather have a landlord "take care" of things.

I don't think it's too unrealistic in the SD market to rent a room for around 1,000 dollars given the shortage of real estate and knowing as a service member myself that the military pays out 1,900 a month for housing allowance.

because I have never used an online background check service like smart move I assumed that the process online would be virtually identical to the paper process that typical tenant would go through when renting any property.

 @Sam Tijerina first off, I want to thank you for your service to this country.  

So here is my main question: what are your procedures for applications and lease agreements?
