@Sean GammonsConsider adding a partner for the second deal to share the down payment and mortgage responsibility, keeping DTI manageable.

You will learn the time and effort required of managing such a unit.  

Most property management apps are built for LTR or STR.

I asked for a refund outside the 3 days (ridiculous time frame to give to clients but it tells you everything you need to know about the company just didn't realise on time) but I told them I didn't receive the login until the 4th day and that I am the one who requested so I would still be missing the login of wasn't for me that didn't seem to make sense to Kevin the manager there who by the way called me a week later.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

If this is your only rental, it's more about if you want to keep the property from a management perspective.

But what I will say is that he is a disastrous relationship manager.

I like to think I have done ok. for me finding properties is sales - managing real estate and growing your company requires problem solving. 

Will it pay the full PITI plus Capex, management fees, maintenance etc?

It’s on the rise but you just have to be selective regarding location and try to go for turnkey or keep it minimal regarding rehab  So you don’t have a nightmare story trying to manage a rehab from Out of Town.
