I am new to the website, am looking forward to get to know other rental investors, get tips, and  be a part of the discussions.A lot of my Google search results would bring me to this site, on many topics, so I thought I would join!

What an informative thread i literally was thinking about all of this wondering where a youtube video or forum about this topic was at thanks guys 

That’s a little higher level.Check out Mark Kohler (lawyer and cpa) on you tube where he covers this topic and others.

I have also read some great articles on direct mail as well.

I came here to accept a colleague request (which is the only notification I have left turned on), I then saw an article that the colleague had commented on, then saw this thread, and then attempted to help a new investor to overcome the discouragement they were receiving from finding a 2-4 unit, as finding a 2-4 unit is very doable. 

Here're a few articles for you to check out:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/10850/7...https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/10850/7...Buying a house will require some work = time on your part.  

Renting out that house won't be an issue, but you need to start educating yourself with books, podcasts, articles, Meetups, and investing events/training. 

Do you have a source article for this?

Can you elaborate more on this topic?
