More than 50% of German residents rent their homes, a trend that has been consistent for decades.

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

From watching the market and myself investing in Bryan/College Station, people are still renting out these properties nicely.They can be leased as a whole or rented by the room and are usually in great areas, close to the university, grocery stores, and restaurants.

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

Not that those aren't great options just in case, but I just simply wanted to buy the house and rent it out on my own without jumping through hoops to get one while I am barely just starting and getting experience.

I do not want fixer-uppers, only properties ready to Long-term rent.

If it is, why can't you buy similar properties that you are renting with the money you make.If you get $200,000 annually(split proceeds with the other owner), you should be able to buy almost any type of property.

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.

If you have 10% vacancy that means every month your have 2 units that need make ready and rented. 

How many bedrooms does it have and what do you think it'll rent for?
