I’ll account for PM in calcs, but will do as much as I can initially.

Since I am buying houses that are distressed, I generally get them pretty cheap, and pay more for the reno that the house cost initially. 

And kudos for having the initiative to invest.

I have a high household income, so while my initial investment may be low, I will probably be able to invest an additional 100k/year in the following years.- Desire is to buy and hold MFHs.- Would like to partner on deals (I understand finding the right partner is difficult, so I'll let this come over time).Questions:- How is the rental market in Mount Lebanon? 

Thanks for sharing.I do most of the same but I do not want them to apply.I takes to much effort to review the app prior to pre screening.Every potential tenant has to answer prequal questionnaire first.Then the visit is scheduled for those that qualify.Then the app, if they appear to be most qualified based on their answers and initial in person screening.Just like a job interview.

As I look to purchase my first property, my fear and nerves are constantly keeping me from obtaining this milestone..with my biggest fear being estimating rehab costs initially.

Here are my initial thoughts on your post.

Good for you for having the initiative to do something at such a young age!

Zillow and realtor should be your initial go to. 

I wouldn't want to shoot myself in the foot by trying to increase rent too hard too fast and create vacancies right off the bat, but I need to make sure I get some return in the initial stages.
