I am looking into more 3rd party management companies that are established and will research this.Do you invest out of state as well?

Make sure you do your research on how to screen tenants...this is going to be especially important since you and your family will be living in the same building.

If your situation is complicated or out of the norm for whatever reason, you need to research ( read up...you know, “Dummy guide to LLC” etc) or hire a lawyer.

Research but have people around you who can help push you to that next step when the time is right.

I'm in the military, so we have dreams of renting this place out when I get transferred, buying a new one, and so on.In my perfect fantasy world, this method could yield me 3-4 nice single family homes by my mid 30s (in 10 yrs), a good passive income stream by my mid 40s (20 yrs), and a solid retirement foundation for 55+.I have a ton of research to do and this site looks awesome.

You will have to research the laws for both NY and PA.

But here's the thing: I looked up about 10 PM companies when I was researching, and they ALL have a number of bad reviews.

I have a few areas in mind, but still trying to do some research.
