This of course can be waved but only with the consent of ALL parties involved. 

@James Wise  Per your request.Coming out of the late 1800s most of the major west coast cities that we know and love like LA  SF  PDX SEATAC were all subdivided by the same engineering firms  at least SF and Portlandia were.. this led to land speculators in the day going out into the Western deserts and other remote areas.. buying what were large land holdings , Spanish land grants and other lands that were not govmit owned.. then in the day you could simply create massive subdivisions buy doing basic surveys off of the base and meridian lines.. which all of the west is surveyed off of... this is called section land.then create these massive tracks of lots.. some were like up in the apple valley, Lancaster,  Barstow type areas mainly 5 acre tracts.. and were done on a grid pattern.. streets in ( mapped but not built)  and of course spiraled out of a small little town off the railroad track or the few roads that existed in those days.. you took your map and recorded it at the county, county was happy they just got 5 thousand lots they could send out tax bills on..

Everyone has their opinion, of course, and some are focused on the real estate side that would impact future employees.

Change your train of thought into buying DOORS, and buy one triplex or fourplex. 

You can stagger the leases, handle some vacancy, etc.Just some things I've been thinking through but of course a lot of it depends on your personal situation.

I’m also planning on using a property management company, these tenants don’t seem to be trained very well and I’d like to have some professionals come in and get them in order.

(Besides Josh of course lol).

of course you don't have to divulge your honey holes  LOL 

And of course even harder to get 3+ prospects all approved on screening at the same time.

I've been taking a real estate investment course available through my public library and the low rates of success for renters was presented as a way in which this is a solid investment strategy.
