Recent Rental property owner

[Tim Hill]

Hi everyone!

When my family moved from St. Louis to PA 2 years ago, we decided to keep our STL house as a rental property, and I was told about this site recently as I work on finding a new tenant.  I manage everything myself, which was easy to do for our 1st tenant since I was still in St. Louis at the time, but now I'm trying to do all that from a distance, so I joined here to find answers to questions as they come up.  So far, the process is going great.

In the future, I want to invest in some rehab project properties and add them to our rental portfolio.  Right now, I'm mostly a stay at home dad, but my dream is to start looking into that more seriously once my young kids are all school age in about 3 years, something that I can do to earn my family some additional income while maintaining flexibility to take care of the kids outside of school.
