Additionally, I'm working with the RE Ally Property management team, who was able to find a tenant to rent at slightly above market rates without any vacancy.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

There is also ease of management in having a handful of tradespeople that can deal with all my properties.

I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market.

My goals with BP is to continue to learn everything I can about financing, analyzing deals, obtaining leads, and managing my rentals.

It also adds complexity to management.

A lot of investors who succeed in EC know the tenant base very well and a lot of them self manage.

Using a HELOC or home equity loan on your personal home could be a good option, especially if you can secure a low interest rate and manageable terms.

Set up a basic system to manage your listing, update it monthly, and always ask guests for feedback—and don’t forget to casually ask for that 5-star review!

Cash flow can be great if you manage it well and keep occupancy rates high, but factor in the added costs of management, cleaning, and potential vacancy dips.
