I will be reading all that I can and reaching out when the opportunity arises.

Would really appreciate any feedback given that I'm new to this as I'm sure there are some things I'm not thinking of that I should be.Thanks in advance!

Thanks ya'll for the feedback!  

I read that I might need a W9 filled out by each contractor?

Hi @Daniel Hyman,Thank you for the response, I read thru a lot of them, doesn't seem to exist anything that is hitting that sweet spot for the real estate investors with less than 10 properties, seemed Rental Property Manager might fit the bill but the reviews are not that good.

You'll find a wealth of AMAZING info on here, just keep digging around the forum posts and blogs and you can read for days..

@Kevin Phu Do you have a link to read up more about this Haus?

So, I'm currently reading "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller ( The co-founder of Keller Williams).

We're hoping that we can manage to get tenants to turn over in the summer, where we can spend a couple of weeks down in DC combining a little vacation in the place with fixing things up and finding a new tenant).Of course I made some mistakes already, too, but I think I'll get away with them this time...So after getting my feet wet, I've been reading about REI, and we do have cash / equity (our primary home is just about paid off) to stuff with, so now I'm considering to get into it in a non-accidental way, and it seems more prudent to look at our local area (NH seacost), but it turns out I have little idea about the purchase/rental market here, and it doesn't seem all that easy to find out (in NoVA, at least, there's a very active market, while here prices seem to fluctuate wildly for no obvious (to me) reason.

I thought that might be true as well but I did a Google Search and read that you can refinance immediately.
