@Venecia BaezIf you can invest locally do that if not look elsewhere. 9 times out of 10 when people are stuck and unable to take action I usually see people worrying about things that either won't happen or aren't an issue.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

You have a skillset that could be extremely useful for quick fixes and landlord issues and from there you can bridge relationships and partnerships to enhance your knowledge of real estate investing and couple your skills.

I don't like AI descriptions (sorry @Andrew Steffens).They look and sound completely like it was written by a bot, which it was.I like to write my own copy for listings and I respond directly to all guests, inquiries and issues.

Seems like it's in a lower end area so if it is filled you will have tenant issues and turnover cost.

Also, are you trying to avoid one with an ice maker--potential here for additional maintenance if any issues arise.I've had Whirlpool, Samsung, Frigidaire in properties without any issues.Make sure you're aware of what the manufacturer warranty covers things such as parts, labor, and compressor.  

Prioritize tackling critical issues and beefing up security to keep your property safe and sound.

Thankfully I have no property in NY.I loved this quote which shows just how clueless people are about housing issues:“Housing instability is at the root of so many problems facing our city, such as exacerbating homelessness and hunger, failing to meet our children’s educational needs, and undermining public safety,” said the CWTU in a statement.

I’d recommend keeping the funds separate for each property to avoid any potential co-mingling issues.
