New landlord from Chambersburg, PA

I've been stalking for a bit and learning a LOT so I felt it's time to introduce myself.

I've recently (December '16) purchased a duplex with detached garage in downtown Chambersburg, PA.  It will need minor repair and major refurbish (floors & paint).  I plan to rent them out as three separate units.  

I have some family members that have been purchasing and selling real estate for 5+ years and they have been very helpful in this process.  I love what I do outside of real estate and don't want to get out of it but hope this will be an investment avenue for me to create wealth and long term "passive" income.  My strategy at the present is to buy and hold.

I am very much in the learning stage right now. Looking for reliable, quality home service contractors to do drywalling, painting, and plumbing.
