If the property breaks even, or operates in the red currently, it will only operate deeper in the negative (unless you find a strong ROI like creating more bedrooms, convert a non living space to living space, etc) with another loan. 

@Edwin AlvarezI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.

As inventory trickles up, I am okay getting deeper.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

Happy to connect one on one to dive into this and give you some clarity.

You can connect cameras like "Blink" to a hotspot or Wifi system.

I personally have no connections with anyone who is involved in this niche and I'm wondering how other people have started their journey.

I have enjoyed Stessa's interface but unfortunately it is useless to me if I have constant bank connection issues. 

Over time, I’d like to expand into short-term rentals, buy-and-hold properties, and flips.I’d love to connect and learn from this amazing community.

If you are in the CLT area and are looking to connect with othr like-minded individuals, I would love to grab a coffee with you!
