Jason,I will definitely look into financial consulting tutoring as a side hustle, as that is basically what I do and love for my 9-5.

Most people will take a solid cash offer over financing.

The unit I want to occupy has 3 people living in it, when is it safe to give them a notice to vacate and does anyone have a template for this?  

Lot of people don't take action because they don't have knowledge to take action...

Time is on your side and it seems almost like a waste of effort to pay down loans quickly, if you can let time take care of it without any contribution from you.Not many people have the obsession with REI to grow a significant portfolio, but you can probably manage 30 to 50 doors on the side, before it becomes impossible and you need a PM.

Obviously, there are people that leave W2s to get into real estate full time.  

So add the drama of dealing with people who are already not paying for their water.

Some of the most basic information you will want to know during the tenancy are:1. periodic reports from the PM regarding inspection results, including pictures and notes2. periodic (e.g. monthly, quarterly) finance reports from PM3. lease terms of new or renewed tenantsThey should contact you about:1. major problems or concerns with the tenant or property that may warrant termination of the tenancy or non-renewal.

@Bhumika Dhanani the Zillow lease is pretty basic!

Banks only have 10% of the money they lend thus it makes sense for them - but for people who are not a bank why make 6% taxes as ordinary income and barely keeping up with inflationThat $1000/mo payment will be worthless in 20 years.
