@Sophanara Khoeun you mention that you have no time as you have a 9-5 job - so, do 99% of investors!

I’m finding a hard time finding comps for a long term rental.

We’ve got one big player that probably has at least 600 units with their own rental office and full time maintenance crew.

Next time just give 90 days notice.

Shake down runs help sort things that guests will find that you might have missed.That is what we did for part of our first year and it was very helpful.

Similarly, quality dividend-paying companies often retain some earnings to reinvest in their business, increasing the company's (and your) value over time.

You'll likely need a higher down payment if you can find anyone willing to finance something like this as a first time investor; many require some level of rehab experience at the very least.

I'm new here, and am ready to start investing my time into learning the strategies to get my first rental in 3 months.

I have only sent a hand written note twice and it did get a response both times.

But, I am not willing to commit to 50 years (if I am lucky) of never harvesting material equity from my rental properties at this time so that she can inherit potentially millions or tens of millions of 2074 dollars at stepped up basis.I plan to pay the tax man and spend some of my money at some point.
