If you already have a solid team in place with your first property adding a second should be fairly easy.

Lower-income renters tend to generate significantly higher maintenance and turnover costs.I thought the same thing.Paper figures always look great but real life is different.If I get any one of our investors 8% net net year after year, I pop the champagne.Not an easy feet at all...
