A bit about me: I’m a payroll manager for a restaurant group, where I handle everything from creating policies and SOPs to processing payroll and ensuring compliance with state and federal laws.

Or is there manually entry? 

Research stable rental markets, affordable entry prices, landlord-friendly laws, and infrastructure investment.

Another consideration, @Jay Hinrichs, is whether the electrical infrastructure at the property can handle it. 

It was a cut and dry project and since it was my first deal it was an easy entry having already been slightly remodeled.

Flipping can be cost-effective due to lower entry costs and growth in neighborhoods.

The biggest mistake new investors make is to walk a property, maybe explain in general terms what they want and then let the contractor come up with the SoW.For a bedroom this could be:- replace carpet- repair closet dooror- remove carpet- remove curtains, nails and screws- replace closet doors, entry door SKU#- replace window SKU#- refinish hardwood floors 144 sqft, clear/oil-based- prep and paint all woodwork- patch walls, texture, paint walls eggshell white clay, ceiling flat white- replace light fixture SKU#, replace lightswitch w decora/white, replace 3 outlets&covers- install blinds SKU#Obviously, the cost would be quite different.

Not too shabby for a property we handled in just over a month.

I’m starting to look into other states that have an easier barrier to entry which brings me to PA.

I would do it one time as a good-will gesture, but I would make it clear that he has to handle it from that point forward.
