but first,  seek for mentors who are not promoting their mentor ship program, who are trying to make money and may not care about your well-being.

Any lessons learned from your first out-of-state multifamily purchase that you'd care to share? 

When necessary, I will need someone to take care of tenant move-outs and finding new tenants, as well as evictions.

If you're one of the  lucky ones that finds a buyer immediately who is qualified, agrees to your price, doesn't care if you've missed a disclosure, isn't picky at the inspections, and basically just wants you out and them in, then you don't need an agent. 

If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?

I should also mention at this point we've decided to keep my wife home to take care of the kids.

Take care and good luck.

Care to share the numbers (sold comps; expected monthly rent; your thoughts on offer price)?

I don’t care if the value goes down unless I’m ready to sell.

If he weren't an agent but a bird dog and came to you with this deal offering a 60/40 you or 70/30 you profit split would you still say no?
