Quote from @Emily Gowen: I only recommend investors sell when they can move the money to a better-performing investment or when the sale moves them closer to a specific goal.

I mentioned these specifically because the people running them have high integrity and what I would caution people on is all the new debt funds popping up that are being used to fund their other ventures that are in trouble.

It’s good to budget for unforeseen expenses.Regarding PMI, it’s worth discussing directly with your loan servicer since many lenders require holding the property for a period or reaching specific equity thresholds before removal.If market rents are $2,200–$2,500, hiring a property manager could help you optimize rent while taking the burden of tenant screening off your plate.

Do you have any suggestions that may suit my criteria a little more?

Are there any property types you would specifically recommend?

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

We also love podcasts so if any specific episode of the BP shows come to mind let me know! 

I've seen people who meet everyone of my qualifications and turned out to be night mare tenants and also people who missed the mark of certain criteria and turned out to be my golden tenants. 

You might consider other strategies, like taking a home equity loan or refinancing to fund repairs, but consulting with a tax professional or CPA would be the best next step for your specific situation. 

Major employers like JP Morgan and AT&T are pushing for these policies as well, and specifically in the D.C. region, Amazon HQ2, the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority, and the Executive Branch of the government have required all employees to return to work 5 days a week at those locations.Fundamental Lack of Residential SupplyAnother interesting driver of demand is the fundamental lack of supply of housing stock due to the fallout effects of the 2008 housing crisis, slowdowns in housing construction during Covid-19 primarily in 2020, and a good amount of 2021 from supply chain issues, labor shortages, and rising construction costs.
