This is a c class area, with some properties being in better neighborhoods than others.

It’s possible you’re not marketing your property well enough or it’s not in a good condition or location to attract B and A class tenants who would have provable good income and credit.

Generally tenants and working class people are the big losers.

All the details of rent collection, leasing, maintenance, repairs and bookkeeping are handled by national class, professional property managers.

Back in 2019 I was asked to bring a training class on iBuyer programs and I refused.

And I started carrying a boat horn with my finger on the button when I had to walk to the the car at night.

If it is worth it, are there any schools/ classes that anyone would recommend to obtain the license?  

The higher class property you get into you are more seeing equity paydown and appreciation as your long-term ROI, but if you put enough cash down anything cashflows of course.

purchased a place to lease out for duck hunting near Augusta and so far has done well. it is a very nice place, not what i would call a typical duck lodge. has its own boat ramp, if you can call it that, to fish horseshoe lake, an oxbow. the 3 month lease should cover 70% of debt and all expenses for the year. now to short term lease it for the remaining 9 months. i say all of this because i think hunting/fishing is a pretty cool market.             

One thing that is different than other markets is MF units are sprinkled throughout the city, and in all neighborhood classes.
