These require a minimum of $300-$335k cash to cover the downpayment, closing costs, and having a healthy budget for professional design/amenities.Tier 2 range in price but most fall between $530k-$650k.  

Otherwise get a glass or plexiglass cover made for the top because not everyone will use coasters.

They seem to cover all sorts of topics, beyond investing, and certainly talk about real estate investing within the forums/courses, etc.  

So hard money loan in my name, down payment and carrying costs covered by her but we still need to meet to hash out the details.

New roof, siding, soffit, fascia, flooring upstair, repair fencing, yard work/landscaping, new flooring upstairs, new vanities, kitchen remodel, new paint job What was the outcome?

This is because they didn’t budget properly and rent wasn’t high enough to cover actual expenses (repairs and maintenance, cap ex, vacancy and loss, tenant damage and turnovers, etc don’t expect to have any money left over after all of these expenses are accounted for if the rent is less than $1,500/month). 

I am ok w/having to also pay a few hundred dollars to cover my mortgage if I can’t get $2400 monthly for it.

If you use a property manager, you'll need at least 50 rentals to cover the additional expenses.

I have a great tenant and very few repairs issues (I put in a new HVAC and water heater a year before I moved out) but will eventually need a new roof (house was built in 2005). 

The truth is, the odds of being successfully sued for more than your insurance will cover is ridiculously low.
