Self managing is also a good idea, because it saves you money and gives you experience in that area.

Instead, I would suggest seeing if you can find a 'caretaker' / renter who wants a parking & garden space for their self-contained tiny home on wheels, trailer or rv.  

However I do so because of my ability to build out teams over there so that I can self manage.

I'm completely self employed which is why I was struggling getting conventional financing to buy my own property.

If you closed without forcing the seller to remedy it (purchasing the strip or obtaining an easement from the county for the life of the structure), your owners title policy would have an exception for that encroachment meaning you would be self-insuring as to this problem.Factor into your purchase price and plans that you or a buyer may need to quiet title in the future.

(or LLC with S corp. tax election) is typically recommended by tax pros since it allows you to save on a portion of self employment taxes.

If you self manage, the tenant calls you, you call a plumber and it's fixed.

There are a few self-contained guides that you can access here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guidesI really like the alerts feature that can quickly guide you to current topics that might interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

Even though  you are self managing make sure  you pay yourself for your time though  even if it is just on paper.
