Handsoff experience, because I am the person technically managing their property I will deal with all the hassle and headaches that come with being a landlord, and only would contact them for emergencies like the roof caves in or something, I feel like there's alot of benefit for the landlord they still profit from my success and still profit even if I don't do well.But thank you Corby, yea I didn't know how to phrase that I want to host their property towards travel nurses without mentioning subleasing, but your approach makes alot of sense, especially " help landlords lower vacancy and are looking for feedback, ask if you can buy them lunch." 

We have some cash savings in the ballpark of 10k ready to invest today not including emergency fund and other savings, but that number is growing thanks to a recent bump in income.Now for the pros.

Keep all the money you collected from the previous year for emergency only and repeat the process. 

Emergency only.

First question: how much cash do you have to invest, and is this separate from your emergency funds? 

It was also difficult to assess the heating situation after repairs since tenant refused to provide key to access unit for repairs and/emergencies, citing “privacy and safety” concerns.

However, in the event of an emergency, the Landlord and/or his agent has unrestricted access to the property.

@Guenevere F. you're going to need 20-25% down to get a mortgage.If you target $100k, that won't leave you any funds for closing cost, maintenance or emergency reserves.You could try targeting around $80k, but the $16k-$20k down payment would still not leave you with enough.If you buy under $80k, you're probably buying such a low-end property that it is unlikely to meet your performance expectations.

Do you have enough funds for down payment and closing costs + emergency funds 3.

Our management team is dedicated to navigating through these challenges and emerging stronger.We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
