I was studying the market and my rent will be just enough to cover the mortgage and HOA fee now I might to pay out of pocket for insurance but don't want to sell it yet because the area is growing and might have good appreciation in the years that follow.

Quote from @Jinxiang Xu: New to being a landlord, and already forked out $20k for foundation repair on this rental house.

We've thought about trying to sell off each unit.

I am not a developer , But down the street from one of my properties is a town house development .

For investors who want a "perfect property" Rent To Retirement sells new construction homes in more expensive neighborhoods for a higher price point.

So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

My next goal is to implement the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method, specifically in Birmingham, AL, and focus on Section 8 properties.With relatively good rehabs, I’m not looking to be a "slumlord"—I want to provide quality housing for tenants while also ensuring my investment is successful.I’ve heard mixed reviews about Section 8 tenants, but I’m eager to learn more.

The house we just bought is in cabarrus county and currently 1300 sqft with a 200 sqft breezeway.

I try to find their true reason for selling early on.

One of the developers I work close with is getting ready to build 4 spec houses.
