I live in Boston, but I was advised to start my real estate business elsewhere as Boston is very competitive.

I live in Phoenix AZ, where we take our pool safety very seriously, as kids die every year in pools because it's warm and they swim much of the year. 

Also something to note, I live in the North Fort Worth area and be aware that there is some school district drama brewing in Keller ISD that covers much of 76244 and 76248.

@Jay FayzIt's possible to use an FHA loan with a 5% down payment, but keep in mind that the loan is intended for primary residences, and you'll need to live in the property for at least a year.

I do recommend on higher end properties adding TV channels and Spectrum has a live TV stream app (no more boxes, I also imagine other cable providers so as well).

Toxic paint et al.Would you want your family living in house remodeled with cheap Chinese s**t?

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

Furthermore, it aligns with the growing trend of home improvements that enhance daily living while maximizing investment returns.

Apartment buildings, assisted living facilities, self storage, restaurants... 

You may also want to consider buying this as a primary and living in it for a year.
