Well, I can say from my personal experience owning only A/B located properties, if you maintain all appropriate licenses, take care of your properties, and are responsive to your tenants its smooth sailings.

But the cost of maintaining and filing an entity correctly is much higher and also needs to be considered. 

In a world of constant inflation, maintaining your lifestyle over time requires an income that meets four key criteria:Rent Growth Must Outpace InflationIf a basket of goods costs $100 today, in ten years, with 5% annual inflation, that basket will cost $162.

You will need to make sure that are no gaps in windows, doors, etc and that the HVAC system is well maintained as a tenant could argue that lack of remediation is the culprit for a high utility bill.

Additional costs will creep in and costs seem to go up faster than rents, so I would sell and try to otherwise optimize the VA loan. 

@Jack PasmoreFor me, building trust and maintaining authentic relationships comes down to consistency and value.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Paid-in-full real estate almost always results in sub-optimal returns.Do this math. 

Ensuring your rental market can sustain these costs will help maintain profitability over time.The 7% DSCR loan is relatively high, and refinancing later at a lower rate could improve your long-term cash flow.

Use tools like Buildertrend or CoConstruct to manage the project, track expenses, and maintain clear communication with the GC and subs.
