And this is why I use property managers.  I'm just too nice.  lol  Plus, I was in the military until last year, so I needed someone local to take care of things for me.  :-)

I'd be scared they couldn't pay, but I guess either way you got a GREAT deal!  :-) 

How do you know how much to charge them?

@Kristin Szalajko, howdy!  I'm also a newbie on here, though I've had properties for several years now.  I agree with the advice above, especially the part about not quitting your job until you are making enough to support yourself and about knowing what you like and don't like, can do and can't do.  For example, I use property managers because I'm terrible at being the bad guy!  I could never evict someone, so that's their job.  ;-)  (Though thankfully, it hasn't happened since I bought in 2001.) 

Anyway, good luck with all your choices and welcome to BP!

@James Hazelwood, I'm a newbie here, too.  :-)  It's good that you're just taking time to learn for now.  Of course, keeping an eye out is good as well.  ;-)  Good job and good luck!

You said you were out of the country.  Where?  I'm jealous!  I love traveling!  :-D

Howdy! I'm also a newbie and I also do buy and hold. I currently have 2 sets of duplexes and a SFH. Good luck with the meetups. Sounds great! Learn lots! :-)

Howdy and welcome!  I'm new, too.  :-)  I love that you're into solar. 

It looks like you have things pretty well planned out.  Good for you!  Good luck!

I'm so glad you asked this question. I'm looking to sell my SFH and it needs to be updated, but I also don't want to spend money needlessly. Now I know that I'm on the right track with my plans. Thanks, @Yoni R.!

Thanks, and good luck to you, @Zane M.

Yes, buying right is DEFINITELY the tricky part.  Hahaha
