Consistent with the advice of @Jo Bradley , if I could get through the first couple years financially, keeping current home seems a lot easier than long distance investing...and at least I know what is wrong with my current home (I.e it will eventually need new roof etc). 

$500/hr for review and $5K-$8K to appear in court.

They don't appear to be anything special.

Pre-inspection, it appears to be a solid opportunity.

I tend to have an easier/faster time renting my 2 bedroom units than the larger ones. 

Thieves will skip over yours and look for an easier target.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

It appears there are less banks/lenders out there doing lines of credits on a rental property vs primary home.

It’s typically less risky and easier to manage compared to a fix-and-flip or mid-term rental, especially if it’s your first time dealing with property management and rehabs.
