Together we make about 120k-ish and as were doing this, were actively paying down our credit card debt which together is about 20k at the moment, just fyi.I feel like this is a solid plan, but I'm not too big headed to admit that I don't know everything.

I work in 2 very different areas, one being a metropolitan area consisting of 215K people, and a vacation region called the Pocono Mountains which is very seasonal, however it consists of some amazing STR opportunities.

The ones with really good reviews, and a high amount of reviews usually cost a little more, but do a good job.  

Quote from @Polat Caglayan: 1500 sq ft and a mid-level renovation that complies with section 8 standards I would get a contractor out there 

There are lots of helpful tools like a customizable pre-screening questionnaire, text/email interface to communicate with leads, and a database to keep leads organized.

One unit was rehabbed with $15,000 and a new leaseadded at market rent.

The house sits near a freeway junction and a busy street, and while my previous rental was also close to the freeway, something about this home's elevation makes the noise unbearablyintrusive.

., etc. and a LOT of fun.

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

Right now, we’re carrying about $60,000 in debt ($40,000 in credit cards and a $20,000 car loan).
