Figure out which one works for you and your budget then be consistent 

I’m open to exploring those locations since they aren’t too far of a drive.I’m leaning towards a SF property because I have $10,000 to put down, want to stay within my budget, and being new to this, I’d like to start small.

In PA you can build an entire 2000sqft home for that budget, and PA is not cheap. 

I’m a first-timer, so bear with me if I sound a little clueless – I’m still figuring it all out.Here’s the scoop: I’m looking to purchase a long-term rental property within the $300-350k budget range.

For 4 months, I get $292k which when annualized is $875k vs the budget expense of $1,155k vs the T12 actuals of $950k so you “seemingly” outperformed expenses by $280k(32%) vs budget and $75k vs T12 actual.

And don’t forget to know your budget.

This means building a budget that includes setting aside funds for your next investment.

Also offer incentives for our maintenance team to bring project in on budget and on time.

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

Projected sale: 950-990k Replacement property budget: 990k - 1.1M Plan: rent out the replacement home until meeting the requirements, then move into it while renting out a portion of the home via short-term rental
