Your budget should deal with preventative or regular maintenance and emergency repairs.

I was more referring to the ease of use of the platform which seems like what many investors are looking for.

I got mine at Costco and it has been reliable and has great range.https://www.costco.com/tp-link-deco-axe5300-wi-fi-6e-tri-ban...It goes on sale pretty regularly.

Happy to chat or refer you options if you need  

All the mods are regular people (I think).

Are your referring to short term rental or long term lease property?

When I refer to "proprietary deal flow" I'm referring to off market opportunities sourced by directly contacting property owners.I do have cash and will be putting together a small syndicate of investors.

I have a few references, I'll shoot you a PM. 

I think it's okay to not have a deluxe backyard, see what the market is demanding.We didn't want to or have the funds to do a full renovation, Here are some things we did when we got our primary ready to rent:-Tore out fiberglass tub and surround in master bedroom-Had new tub and tile surround put in (felt nicer for primary bedroom suite)-New toilets and all new faucets-Hired guy to resurface all kitchen and bathroom countertops-Took down popcorn ceiling and had resurfaced/ painted-Neutral paint and trim throughout (had different colors all over prior)-changed out washer hook-up valves to prevent issues Things I wish we would've taken care of:-regular yard maintenance hired out and baked into rent-LVP flooring throughout (kept mix of tile and carpet)Just did final walkthrough and got keys this morning for tenant moving out.

For starters, the prospect passes our 3.5x income requirement, has a 700+ credit score but a few things that I seem to have trouble with is the management company that was on the application, I wasn't able to find any viable information through regular web searches, but through the Business public record I found an LLC to this management company which I found was created 5 months ago.
