@Jaycee Greene That does not look too bad.

Do you recommend I property manage this myself, or would that be a bad idea. 

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.  

I'm paying for what I'm getting right nowThat being said - I could pay slightly more for something where I know, or have a very good idea something is going to happen - such as road access, utility access, new developments of some sort etc Or less (probably wouldn't buy) if something bad is going to happen - railroad tracks, dump, Sec 8 housing built near by etc 

Most of the bad noise right now is about downtown skyscrapers and REIT or Syndication apartment complexes where they played short term versus long term interest rates wrong.  

A full back office. 3 workbooks to use in the 40 hour cI get it just like any non certified or accredited  training.. not saying its bad. but its not a state license so not governed by any state and there is no NMLS registration required..

Over priced, layout is awkward, junky neighbors, back on market/under contract multiple times, bad photos, bad timing(got buried from other listings, weather occurrence, etc). 

These tools have been invaluable in helping us catch bad actors before they move in.

Sigh...That's too bad.

Owning an asset is never a bad idea, especially if it's income producing.I would speak to a CPA about using cash from a WLI policy.
