However I am not as savvy as many of the people on here.

Money now is very good because you are new and ready to do all the work, but the examples you'll hear about are people posting on BP saying, "well, I did all the work and they got a lot or most of the profit." 

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

While I doubt I'll be investing here (terrified that property taxes and the pension debt will ultimately cripple property values), I'm always interested in meeting new people.

See what a difference it will make for people to know you have 13 years in.

There isn't really a lot of people looking to rent a 3500sqft house and that may translate in longer vacancies.

(Many people just assume it'll be fully tax-free because they lived in it somewhere)

Happy to chat more or connect you with some great people in your area!

The same with cleaners and maintenance people.
