Your budget should deal with preventative or regular maintenance and emergency repairs.

I got mine at Costco and it has been reliable and has great range.https://www.costco.com/tp-link-deco-axe5300-wi-fi-6e-tri-ban...It goes on sale pretty regularly.

I use a management company: The Co-Host company and they are amazing.

I think it's okay to not have a deluxe backyard, see what the market is demanding.We didn't want to or have the funds to do a full renovation, Here are some things we did when we got our primary ready to rent:-Tore out fiberglass tub and surround in master bedroom-Had new tub and tile surround put in (felt nicer for primary bedroom suite)-New toilets and all new faucets-Hired guy to resurface all kitchen and bathroom countertops-Took down popcorn ceiling and had resurfaced/ painted-Neutral paint and trim throughout (had different colors all over prior)-changed out washer hook-up valves to prevent issues Things I wish we would've taken care of:-regular yard maintenance hired out and baked into rent-LVP flooring throughout (kept mix of tile and carpet)Just did final walkthrough and got keys this morning for tenant moving out.

For starters, the prospect passes our 3.5x income requirement, has a 700+ credit score but a few things that I seem to have trouble with is the management company that was on the application, I wasn't able to find any viable information through regular web searches, but through the Business public record I found an LLC to this management company which I found was created 5 months ago. 

There're many groups that hosts can plug into...free Facebook groups and meetups.

I host a top real estate podcast called "Jake & Gino" specifically geared to multifamily investing.This is your profile @Gino Barbaro Misleading wouldn't you say? 

Can you keep it rented on a regular basis? 

So many "meetups" are just veils for the hosts who are looking to find investors for their next flip, syndication or coaching program.
