The living condition is terrible as the apartment is poorly maintained by tenant and poorly managed by landlord [seller].

A bit concerning if the market takes a turn but overall and overtime we will be in a good postion.PS - Since 2003, Dean & DeWitt Property Management has helped investors buy, sell, and manage investment properties in the St.

Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. and finding good local agents or property managers will also help a lot.

I currently manage a portfolio of 17 STRs, some are mine, but a majority for other owners.

Looks like most every other all in one management tool.

Lastly, if you want cash flow so you can quit your job then you might want to consider strategies like flipping, Airbnb, property management, and being a real estate agent.

Additionally, in Co-Living the property manager walks the property once per month to deliver toilet paper & cleaning supplies (aka property inspection). 

This can put a significant strain on your finances and cash flowThey also often require a large down payment themselves and may have a strict repayment schedule that can be difficult to meet, especially if there are unforeseen circumstances or delays in renting the property or generating income from itIn addition, relying on this type of loan may expose you to higher financial stress and the possibility of default if you are unable to meet your loan obligationsThe final decision depends on your overall financial situation, risk tolerance, and your ability to manage the associated costs and obligations

Since you mentioned you're working 9-5, I’d suggest look into turnkey rental and considering property managers to help manage you’re property.

If you think you can manage a mortgage, taxes, insurance and the upkeep of a home while paying your student loans then buying is not  bad idea but if you think you will overstretch yourself renting is nto bad either.
