Hey TimI feel truly blessed by your response.

Solid employment history.  

With just these numbers to go on, if I felt the neighborhood is solid/trending up and not down and assuming your rent projection is realistic, I'd buy it. 

I also know a few property managers I can recommend who are responsive and experienced with investors.Let me know when you finalize your travel dates—I’d love to meet up while you’re in town and show you a few options!

So are you saying you have the right to express an insulting, overbearing, ignorant, ridiculous question, clearly meant to ridicule the people who have just been financially injured, and you don't think it deserves a response? 

Then I mail a very simple handwritten letter and usually get north of a 30% response rate.  

What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuitsHow familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?

I I appreciate the response.

Thank you all for your responses.

Look for undervalued properties.Network: Connect with local real estate agents, contractors, and other investors for insights and deals.Analyze Properties: Use the 1% rule to evaluate potential properties (monthly rent should be at least 1% of the total investment).Secure Financing: Explore different financing options like conventional loans, hard money loans, or private lenders.As for timing, if you can handle the extra responsibility, starting now could give you a head start.
