No one has ever asked me. 3) Depends on if you want longterm or short term residents. 5) We used Redstar https://www.redstarbackgrounds.com/ they give you accept/decline recommendations.

Things that could get in the way im putting out there now to make sure no surprises after someone does the work to get me quotes- New York State - Appraisal will barely be past 100k if that- 98% of my income comes from my rental portfolio (thats a new fun rule (to me) I just learned about)- Prefer something without a ton of fees and such.

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

Any other questions feel free to DM or email me!

Hope this helps, keep me posted with your journey.

My main motivation to eagerly learn is to achieve financial freedom and hopefully one day be able to retire my mom.
