Find out which filters are best for your furnace, purchase a year's worth, write the installation date on each one so the tenant knows when to swap them, and inspect regularly to verify it's happening.

I tried to put the pieces together to build a solid team out there but it's really tough unless you have someone local to help you run it or are willing to drive back and forth.

Do your research and run some numbers, but if you can buy a 4br house, rent out the other three rooms and be left with a very small mortgage payment, you can start saving for the next one and then rinse and repeat every few years. 

If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright. 

For your mortgage, a 30-year loan will give you lower monthly payments, which could be ideal while starting out.

Based off the general home inspection report you'll be able to see if you need to get an electrician etc out there. 

Voice AI is out there and there are impressive demo videos but there’s nothing like a human-to-human trust building conversation.

Feel free to reach out to me.

In terms of using home equity, you would either have to take out the money using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or you could do a cash-out refinance.

Great opportunities to buy single family house and rent out the bedrooms.
