They might pay a little more but not enough to cover the extra condo fee. 

I did have experience operating LTR's to bring to the table, but even if you don't, it's not that much more complex.

Quote from @Alexandra Feig: Hi all,About to close on a property in Columbus and seeking some contractor recommendations!   

It's like full dividend re-invest on an index fund.

Since the yard is already rough, I would keep the shed and see how it works out.Consider adding something to the lease that permits you to remove it from the property if it becomes problematic.

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Your title, “new to real estate” may offer a key.  

Seems like the Roth is the way to go - I want to choose the right partner!
