Lessons learned? Challenges?

This was our primary residence for two years and eventually became the first rental property. After researching investment strategies and running the numbers we felt confident this would be a low maintenance, cash flowing property, close to good schools and walkable amenities and parks that would be appealing to stable tenants. The first year the property was rented we experienced few challenges and met our cash flow goals with conservative reserves for future maintenance.
