I have the "Bidding to Buy" book next on my reading list, following by David Greene's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" book. 

How long have you had rentals? 

I will no longer manage furnished long term rentals. 

Purchase price: $237,000 Cash invested: $11,850 Converted my primary residence to a Cash-Flowing Rental Property to a Section 8 Long-Term Tenant in a Class B neighborhood.Purchase in Sept 2019 Purchase price: $237,000Cash invested: $8,900Converted the Game room and Office room to a standard bedroom to make it a 6-bedroom 3.5 bath which increased the monthly rent from $2,400 to $3,215.

The neighborhoods between Park Circle and Hanahan will likely do well long term as well. 

I think that it is a good long term investment with some serious upside, but don't kid yourself - your car (or your tenant's car) will likely get broken into at some point.

This bodes well for long-term equity growth.Rising Rents: The uptick in rental prices shows a strong demand for rental properties and could lead to better cash flow for investors.Economic Strength: Reading has a diverse economy, with key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and education providing stability.Rental Demand: Low vacancy rates signal that people are actively renting in the area, which is essential for scalability.Future Development: Any upcoming infrastructure projects or new businesses could further boost the market.With these positive trends, it seems like Reading could be a scalable rental market.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

For Medium-term rentals, I just use a regular long-term rental policy since it's over 30 days.

It was on the market for a long time because it didn't qualify for conventional financing will it being unlivable.
