Appreciate the sincerity.Overall, my cash flow replaces my salary at the moment. 

At this moment there are cities that are having an 8% growth and prices are starting to go up On the other hand there are cities in good neighborhoods but without great schools that had house prices going down.Market depends on where you are standing and what strategies works better for you.

Of course, it's harder to find good deals at the moment with the high interest rates.I also have partners investing in Tucson, which is another great market. 

At the moment I am in the process of funding my 3rd project with them since April and have been very happy with their whole team.

I charge 10% of the monthly rent, and if I have to go to the property in person for a routine inspection or to oversee a large job or high ticket estimate, Its $25/hr + $0.50/mile driven.Hiring a professional manager is ideal if you dont have the patience, mental space, or availability to receieve random spur of the moment repair and emergency requests.

At the moment, your suggestion is one of them.

From my research so far, Buffalo and Rochester rental markets seem strong at the moment.

Most of these seem to have it right -- at the moment, the Smokies are smokin'.Also consider that we use "AirBNB" as a somewhat generic term for STR.

The goal is to replace 1 persons income, for now, and pricing on multifamily seems too high at the moment to be able to accomplish that without more money on hand.I've been in property management for around 4 years and my husband is with the same company in the renovations department.

You just need start again and figure out what types of investments interest you... whether it be rental properties, buying mortgage notes, etc.I am at ground zero at the moment.
