Thankfully winter will help slow that however that presents a whole diff set of challenges.

As mentioned is Scott Trenches book “set for life”, he recommends taking a job which can potentially ear more (in my case it is real estate sales).

They set up a monthly payment for rent.

I've set a goal to get started in 2018.

Setting up a home office with a computer, cell phone, etc isn't much.

I seem to recall there was stuff like a 24 hour on site manager required at all complexes (crazy and would put most small folks out of business) and a no income source rule that would force all but the higher end rentals into Section 8 whether they even understood it or were aiming for it (classic big penalty, stigma and lawsuit for violations).....I mentioned the small time folks may not all be interested in Section 8 or set up to participate and handle that market.Oddly, the assembly's goal was more housing, better managed housing, more affordable housing.

I talked to my mailman, and he said I can't simply add a second box for renters to be able to receive mail.Do I need to somehow set this up with the city? 

I actually have a great connection for title in San Diego I can set you up with.

Congratulations on setting your sights on things many people don't even think about until their 40s!

Take the time to set those up.If you ever want to grab coffee, let me know.
