- Hi @Sunny WuThanks for sharing your challenge... it’s a tricky spot, but one that many landlords face.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

Getting an Airbnb and going to different spots to check things out. 

100% agree with @Collin Hays - find a local manager, preferably one not too large or not too small, I would say 30-90 properties is usually a sweet spot.

I've bought a ton of homes pre-foreclosure and at auction, happy to be a resource on that stuff, plus we just launched Bid Pirate, which is the one place online for NH, where you can see all the upcoming foreclosure auctions in one spot - you can learn a lot from the regulars at the auctions........ get after it, sister!

Same thing with any investor you get in bed with.With time you can work some equity into those rentals and when interest rates come down you will be in a better spot to sell a couple SFHs.   

if you are going to do things like include utilities, or have an off street parking spot, other amenities etc, there's no reason in my mind you couldn't "charge a premium" for a premium unit/service.

It’s pretty common for people to buy homes even if they have other debt, like student loans, as long as their debt-to-income ratio is in a good spot.

I an afford to sit on this property as its in the Yosemite AirBnb hot spot and don't need to do anything right away as its in a killer location.
