I am 31yrs old married with 5 kids. work a fulltime gig and want to get a little more active in Hampton roads concerning real-estate investing.

If you do this and run out of days you may need to “stack” some of your activities.

I realize this may be a scenario where a property manager is in my best interest but wanted to explore the possibilities first.

I'm curious, who is actively marketing AND closing deals.

I would expect a payment after every major activity is complete.

Its an active, manufacturing business. 

. - Credit scores 720 & 740 -  Have 20% - 25% money down payment for properties valued at $100k - $150k - Have  6 month reserves - Good steady incoming both with 8-5 jobs We are exploring Visio Lending , one reason our debt to income ratio is too high for convential lender & not enough home equity. 

You'll find them a variety of ways: expired listings, landlords who have filed for eviction, probate sellers, pre-foreclosures, and as referrals from active agents, just to name a few methods.

I have a full time career as an engineer in a large processor manufacturing company in Oregon.My goal this year is to be more active on the site besides just consuming every podcast in the archive.

Since you own 70 rentals you have to decide how active versus passive you want to be.Everyone in existence is chasing the value add multifamily right now.
