@Dayton Bishop It's great to hear you are taking interest in real estate at such a young age but based on what you shared, you're not in a position to own real estate.

If helpful, I can posit an example of penciled numbers.Would love to know y'alls thoughts and appreciate any insights!

The pet fee is there to take into account that there is another 'body', if you will, that is living in the property, and is thus causing more wear and tear on it. 

Pursue STR and Aim to Be Top-Performing:If the STR market in Lynchburg is competitive, it’s possible to generate higher returns if you can position your property as a premium option.

By doing so, you'll be well-positioned to identify great opportunities in the Houston market.Good luck!

However, it does demand solid digital marketing expertise to see positive results.

For me the best-case scenario would be to pay him some cash to assign the deal, and then you take it over 100%.If you have no cash, then it becomes a question of who has the greatest position of strength. 

I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.

If you have one abuser, it won't affect everyone else systems.One thing not mentioned that could possible be a concern is were they are placed. ie. are they all positioned well for inspection and/or replacement if need be?

I am in a position I am not exactly sure of the best strategy to take.
