.- I would highly suggest you plan on using a property management company.

Kudos to you for doing something to create a secondary income stream. there are 5 income streams in RE rentals, possibly six if you do things a certain way.The reality here is your model (buy box) is suffering from too high an entry and too high a cost of capital.

Purchased a little too high at the buy (I knew it at the time too), does a little better than breaking even on cashflow, and took too long to rehab.

Well-maintained homes: Homeowners tend to spend more time and money maintaining their homes, which contributes to the overall quality of the neighborhood.

Hi everyone,I am currently a high school senior turning 18 in a month.

I was a commercial lender for over 20 years and hotels are high risk / special use for most banks.

high prices have made properties expensive and high rates have made money expensive. 

I updated the kitchen with high-end appliances, installed custom cabinetry, and added modern finishes throughout.

Our home state, TX, has really high property tax which is see as a big disadvantage.

I highly recommend LIA (Landinvestor.co).
