Raising rents to $600 per unit would increase the value of the property approx. $200k. 

Doing two properties?

I currently have a rental property and am looking at getting my real estate license and building a property management and property maintenance company to serve my investments and potentially others.  

@Chase AlexanderRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Randy Person Do you have any recommendations for Property managers in Greene County?

My goal is to achieve financial freedom through house hacking and long-term rental properties.

Here are some key strategies to consider:*Invest in Distressed Properties – The best deals for investors often come in foreclosures, short sales, and older homes in need of renovation.

I value a property on information I have today. 

I'm ecstatic to have just secured a fantastic new short-term rental property and I'm eager to collaborate with experts to transform it into a stunning haven.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).
