I was doing the driving for dollars and came across a house with long grass and boards over the windows. Perfect! So I write down the address and look it up find it is some out of state owner. I send him a letter expe...

I live with my parents house and my plan is to move out and house hack to get started and in 5 years my plan is to own at least four multifamily  rental properties that produce passive income 

The most common sniff test is the 1% rule, where the property can produce 1% of the purchase price every month, it's worth digging into and looking at the deal in more depth. 

Keep in mind this is assuming that the panels were actually efficiently producing electricity and significantly reducing the cost of power (solar panels are not always that good at reducing costs in some situations, but for this particular theoretical lets assume they are 100% efficient).Is anybody doing this?

I have a long term goal of income producing properties, but have no clue where to start for the short term and if I can start outside of FL while in VA. 

Wife's property management duties also included inspecting units, preparing units for rental, advertising vacant units, screening potential tenants, showing the units and processing rental applications.Wife produced two spreadsheets detailing her rental management activities.

We are new at this and since we are doing this with out a realtor or other partners we lack access to contracts, forms, procedures and legal paperwork needed for our first deal.We know that we want to purchase a property using either a hard money loan or a private lender, rehab it and list is as an airbnb in Providence, RI (where we currently live).

In my opinion the real estate licensing course was good for learning some of the procedural and legal aspects of real estate, but its value ended there for me. 

Calling a reputable painter myself for instance has produced quotes literally half what they are charging me...  

Since the 2017-2018 winter season, I think we've spent less than $600 for electricity in the ensuing 12 months.Since our system went live in July 2017, we've produced 18.76 MWh.As to valuation of the property, that's another story entirely.We recently did a refinance to take some equity out to work on the property.
