I've used Jerry Puckett for letters and Michael Quarles for postcards, both can be found on here and I would recommend either gentleman. 

My question is, what would a seasoned investor do in a situation like this.

When our kids are a bit older, perhaps we will adopt your model.  

However the appreciation in this area can be anywhere from 10-16% depending on location (numbers from an older newspaper article).  

And will it be separated from the LLC that I am forming when tax filing season comes along?

I'm excited to learn as much as I can from the more seasoned professionals out there, so I look forward to talking with more of you soon. 

@Colin SmithGetting a job in a RE related field and/or become licensed is definitely part of my plan :)@Laurie JohnsonNot really looking at wholesaling because as I learn more, it seems to be hard for a newbie to find a really good deal with profit to wholesale to another seasoned investor.

He is an older gentleman tenant that I inherited and is hearing impaired.

With this in mind, we have more data for the more recent years than we have for the older years, so the data leans towards present day.

Just hang around and you'll see the most novice investor getting feedback from seasoned pros.
