But houses around here usually sell quickly.

It got super annoying very quickly. 

Pls just send a quick email to your atty and ask for guidance.

I recently got hired at a stereotypical office job that very quickly made me realize how much I crave financial independence.

real estate isn't a get rich quick and quit the day job right away gig.  

Being new to this, what are some known strategies that people use to purchase a second, third, fourth property quickly [within a couple of years] opposed to waiting for that single property to bring in enough income to afford the next purchase?

I'm not sure what the end game there is but it's just another option to consider. 

If it does not or there is no way to force it then that is another game.

I had a quick question, what is the criteria you look for in property?

The deal calculators are amazing and will help you identify a good deal rather quickly.
