Her leaving was bittersweet, as it was for a great personal opportunity for her.I’d love advice from you seasoned landlords:Should I lower the requirements in light of the area’s circumstances, or wait it out?

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

I love when the court is extra sassy in response/summary.

Love your posts as they are super informative.  

As my parents age, I am assisting in their property management of their primary residence and would love to connect with other real estate investors in the area.

As I'm looking for a house hack, I'd really love to live in a decent area (some in Jersey City can be iffy).

Tenants love fancy stuff, so make your property a magnet for them.

@Rebekkah Miranda I love this!

Love your story.
