You open yourself up to a lot of liability as you are responsible (at least in Maryland) for maintaining existing utilities and are then responsible for their payment.

I would recommend a value add play on an existing poorly managed or maintained apartment complex.

LLC's are easy to create and cheap to maintain.  

At first i was thinking two 3 family homes and just live in one collect the rent on the other 5 apts and just set aside enough for expenses(taxes,utilities,maintainence) but then i got to thinking i do want a family someday and id like to own a chunk of land.

There are so many fake lenders posing as legitimate lenders on such websites, that it’s hard to figure out who is real.

In fact, it can definitely be the best choice when maintaining a yard or bearing the expense of interior maintenance is not practical.

There are many nice homes for sale that would earn a well as short term rentals but have a harder time maintaining a good return as a long term rental.Lastly, when looking at condos and townhomes pay close attention to the condo fees and the financial status of the condo association.There is a rental analysis sheet in the Bigger Pockets file download section http://www.biggerpockets.com/files that would a good start with analysing the numbers on target properties. 

That way, if there ever is a problem down the line, you at least have something to point to that would suggest the mold is the tenant's failure to maintain the property in an adequate manner, and you have done everything in your power to provide a safe home.

It was easy for me to maintain and gave me a taste of what real estate is like (rental wise).Since you are handy maybe buy a small house to flip, fix up or rent.
