Right now, I wouldn't be doing anything with operator as it's $200 a monthHowever, very soon it will be coming to the $20 a month plan.

I have learned to color code (highlighter) and plan the month/year or week ahead. 

I am pretty new myself to real estate investing but my plan is to own many LTRs .

Where do you plan to find your deals?

Over the next couple of years, I don’t plan to use the property often, but I may stay there occasionally when it’s not occupied.

I don’t plan on doing anything until summer and I might just leave it the way it is.

All depends on what your goals are and what market fits your game-plan/criteria. 

Just keep in mind the process can take a little longer since you’d need to work with contractors and follow FHA’s requirements.4.Your End Game: Whether you’re planning to stay long-term, rent it out, or sell once the work is done, it’s important to have your exit strategy mapped out.

I would plan for having to put 20%+ down for most deals. 

You're in the right place and now is the time to focus on education and planning.
