@Jordan Miller most Class A & B rental properties bought since 2021 really don't cashflow from day one.Class B will take 1-3 years to start showing cashflow.Class A, 3-5 years.Current investors keep making the mistake of looking back at deals from 5-10 years ago when prices & interest rates were both a lot lower, but NOT rental rates.

Quote from @Cade Antonucci: I am starting to grow my rental portfolio and am looking for online alternatives to hold security deposits.

What is the standard process from start to finish so we can eliminate as much risk as possible?

New landlord here and I've been forced to start my first eviction.

I am starting to learn about real estate investing and are super interested in learning anything and everything about it.

Talk to your CPA BEFORE you start the process.

Loan Officer, Brave Mortgage called me and we started a refinance option to be able to hold the property and get out of the balloon payment.

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates).
