Then definitely get a quality PM and rent it out for a bit.

I decided to take a lower CoCr for stable, high quality tenants and have zero regrets.

Focusing solely on numbers often leads to the purchase of low-quality properties.

the company I went with was 12k and performed high quality work.

Try to screen for a higher quality tenant next time.

@Isaac Terry Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The profit was used to buy a higher quality SFH in the same area.

Historically, full service management on the coast has been costly but in recent months management rates have come down and quality has improved.

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.

Looking to construct a duplex at a reasonable cost but also quality for long term durability.Thank you!
