First is that it is hard to get ahead if your main job is making someone else money.

Some make it sound like a full time job, I would say I don't spend more than 2-3 hours a week managing his property, even in the harsh winters of Boston.No LLC costs, etc.

Great job starting out so early, I'm sure you will crush it if you keep it up!!!

So the person quits his/her job and has this 6K cashflow per month.

If you are firing the PM because they suck at their job and aren't upholding their end of the agreement, there should be no penalty for walking away.

If your job income or business income profit is very good then you might want to focus on equity growth and rent growth in better areas over time.

I have a decent paying job(state worker) for a 23 year old, and my savings for my down payment is increasing rapidly while my DTI is decreasing. 

You will need to do a lot of networking to get "the same level of support" as a realtor gets.Regardless of which path you choose to pursue, you will spend money out of pocket (if you don't have a part time job) to cover the costs of doing business.

I love the exposed brick...good job.
