Definitely looking to stay away from the war zone and above the 40. 

Seems like I am having a problem because I'm a recent high school graduate  Please advise how to buy a multifamily home under these circumstances. 

I definitely think we can find something here that will fit what you are looking for!

And it is only 1500 sqft for both units, so rent will be limited based on the small size and you still have to maintain kitchens and bathrooms for two units, which means high maintenance cost to rent ratio. 

(The fact that they have the nerve to call it a "High Yield Savings Account" is almost insulting! 

STR's require a lot more work though - its definitely not passive.

I've also found YouTube videos and podcasts helpful. 

I'd definitely recommend any books by Brandon Turner (Former host of BP) They did wonders for me. 

I’m highly motivated and I need a capital partner. 

RentRedi has integration to handle this, but at $50 for the income & asset verification and $40 for the  tenant's credit, criminal, and eviction reports, that seems high to me.
