@Devin Voelker$1,800 x 8 months occupancy = $14,400 annually $1,200 x 12 months occupancy = $14,400 annually Are you confident you can get over 8 months occupancy for the midterm? 

Intro letter to tenants requesting updated contact information, maintenance problems, how to pay rent / contact our office etc.2.

Insurance in TX increased substantially in the last years, on average 10% per year, in some cases even experienced 30% annual increase.  

Higher maintenance cost.

See maintenance/repairs below foradditional information.

Even though I have a great corporate sales job with a W2 income over $200k annually, I've always known I didn’t want to rely on that income forever.

We started doing bi annual inspections of the properties asking with 6 month leases so we could go in and keep an eye on our property. 6 month lease don't work for section 8 but we were able to inspect.

You don’t have to skimp on the neighborhood or the quality of the house, but if it is a nice little 3/1 or 3/2 single family home in nice condition with no deferred maintenance, then your chance of making a mistake or getting hurt financially while you learn is limited.

Hi Kyle,Given your plan to acquire 19 rental units over 10 years, here’s a realistic projection:For cash flow, assuming each unit rents for about $1,200 to $1,500/month and generates $300-$400 in net cash flow after expenses, you could see $68,000 to $91,000 annually from 19 units.Appreciation typically runs at 3-5% per year.

I bet ya all the water used in the current gasoline/diesel/ethanol process would offset a big chunk of that annual water use for hydrogen.
