@Lisa AlbrightOne thing to consider is your return on equity (ROE).

While it may reduce your immediate returns, a good PM will help minimize risk and maximize long-term profitability.Good luck!

You need to understand how to drive the Net Operating Income to produce a good solid return. 

keep it to 1 page is my best advice and simple. have financial returns broken out beforehand 

When I return to the country after my Au Pair contract ends, I hope to live in the property as my primary residence and house-hack as well.I understand that investing remotely makes things more challenging, but I am also ready to be uncomfortable and challenge myself in this journey as I know it is 100% possible.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Class C properties are considered the riskiest investment, but they can offer good cash-on-cash returns.

Many of which are savvy BP type clients who are doing updates/raising rents and then the buildings do cashflow positive even with lower down payments which produce amazing returns (at 3.5-5% down you get close to a 50%+ return a year just off mortgage paydown). 

RTR advertises high returns as part of their marketing strategy, but the reality is that many of their properties do not perform as well as advertised.
