Hey Katie, I totally understand why you're thinking about backing out; flood zones can be a concern!

MInut has a low average review (mid-3s I think) on Amazon which is a bit of a red flag. 1 per room at a total of $60/month sounds excessive for something that is not likely to be a common occurrence. 

I totally understand not wanting to teach me as we go which is why I am proactively learning to become a better asset.

Hi @V.G Jason - I totally agree and my family and I were just there in late July.

One metric they provide is new construction sales, which I can use to calculate % of total sales and see whether that value is trending up or down.My question is, in general is a market more or less desirable if there are a lot of new builds hitting the area? 

Quote from @Mitchell Gunlock: > are so terrified of making a mistake that they'd rather do nothingI totally feel this. 

The total damage is close to 5k.

Otherwise a total waste of time and money.Likewise entities, "building my team", "setting everything up correctly" and all that other fluff that benefits only people who set it up for you. 

I closed last month all in full reno 75k, rent will be 1500, Closing on a Duplex this week, all in 90k, rent will be 1800- 2k, Next week same numbers, Another with seller financing, ZERO down, $500/ month (total 900/ month) rent will ne 1800 - 2k, THATS a great deal, I wish I could get 20 of them. 

My second question was- Does it have to be one-for-one property or can it be one-for-two properties totaling 2M and more?
