I have plans to add five more units.

When I did hire a lawyer due to a tenant problem they had me send two of the exact same letters, one by regular mail, and one return receipt where you get that green card back. 

The job took five days, that was from the day the job started until I was able to walk on the floors.

Then I got the "I'm out of town" and I need to pay with a credit card more than the cost so you can pay the previous owner to get the key.

Wouldnt having five properties in each of any number of LLC's offer favorable protection.  

We have five children and I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Cybersecurity but since binge listening to the BiggerPockets podcasts, I am excited to learn and absorb all I can about Real Estate Investing so that I can become an educated resource for my clients and help others in the field.

I can count on one hand how many times I've had a late rent in the last five years.

Ideally in five years, we'll have five or so properties and enough income from them to live on and husband can manage (maybe) while I continue freelancing (the portable and most favorite of my three jobs) and our kids go to school in America.

I sent out five letters to this person and three months later he excepted the offer.

@Todd Krzeminski @Stacy Weng To be clear, you have to have lived in the property for Two of the last five years, which means if you sell, and close,  within Three years of the date you moved out your gain is tax free under the 121 exclusion.
