You can buy extra indoor cameras or customize kits. 

After recent significant increases in property taxes, homeowners insurance, utility costs, supply costs, maintenance costs, and construction costs the margins are thinner to a significant degree.

Therefore whether its a "cash" or financed transaction, it shouldn't matter for the seller unless the seller doesn't want to deal with the financing contingencies/feels a buyer who is reliant on financing will be a risker transaction or they are a wholesaler in which many times complicates the ability to utilize financing. 

The customer always thinks they're right and they're used to dealing with customer service reps from large corporations like Amazon etc. and don't always understand the perspective of the host as an actual person.

Hi Brian,You're on the right track, but to determine if you're truly generating cash flow, it's important to look beyond just your mortgage payment.Here's what to consider:Income: You're receiving $2,100 in rent, which is great.Expenses: Besides your $3,232 mortgage, you likely have other expenses like property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities (if you cover any), and potential vacancy costs.If your total rental income exceeds all of these combined costs, then you're generating positive cash flow.

If you do then you can utilize losses to offset your active income but if not, you are limited with how much depreciation you can utilize to offset your active income.

Opt for a property management company with deep regional expertise to get the most out of your investment.Property Expertise: Look for a firm that has experience managing properties similar to yours and is familiar with your asset class’s specific challenges.Company Culture: Choose a firm with a customer-focused culture that values team management and service, as this directly affects property performance.Market Reputation: Speak with local brokers and visit managed properties to get a sense of the company’s track record.By focusing on these factors, you can find a property management company that aligns with your goals and delivers real value.
