I've done the rehab all myself so far with the exception of contracting out the new HVAC installation and electrician and I've gained a great deal of experience and appreciation for what is involved.

My mom actually applies for a VA loan so there's a lot of doors open up of what we can do and i was trying to get her in a multi unit.

Realize this is the historical norm and if the future behaves similar to the aggregate of the last 60 years this is by far the most likely scenario.Property is fairly stable: Tenant purchases and has some of the rent applied to the purchase. 

Hi Ruben,     I'd get involved in a networking group in the area.

, I plan on applying for a variance. 

3) I really need to consult a disability lawyer, but I am going to be applying for disability benefits, so any advice on keeping rental income from being counted as me “working” would be appreciated.

. - Self managing a couple units is a great way to learn the business.Property Management Software - check out something like Cozy.co - it helps you list/market your units for rent, lets prospective tenants apply online and does background & credit checks, then once you place a tenant they can pay online along with submit maintenance requests.

I'm interesting in looking at markets in other cities and would like to get involved in multi-family properties and as I continue to learn begin innovating.The ultimate goal for me, like with many, if not most, others, is to attain financial independence as well as security.I'm super excited to get involved and learn as much as I can within this wonderful community!

Having said all of that, I can see why getting involved would be wise as soon as one actually started in the business...

Hello Everyone,My name is Eric and I am an aspiring to get more involved within bigger pockets and the real estate community.
