First is the macroeconomics here are absolutely blowing up here - population growth, job growth, and SO MANY companies moving/developing here.

This is why it's so important for owners to do a better job of screening PMCs than screening tenants!

Personally, I bought a 3 bed single family home soon after starting my job and had two friends from college rent which covered my mortgage plus a little extra.

Typically when people graduate they look for a job and move to the area of the job.

That can be a draw back if the market is on a mad run up tho.Also, I would always have enough in a heloc to cover your 401k loan in the event of job loss or if you quit your job. 

No point in paying someone to do a simple task (yet) so no it's not taken time from me - well maybe 5 minutes. repairs will come and we will fix, but that's why we do our due diligence before we buy so we aren't walking into major repairs 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Quote from @Donnie Jones: The harsh truth is that wholesaling is a job, not a means of investing.

I am currently 21 years old and was recently hired with my dream job in Sarasota County (I saw that Sarasota wasn’t an option so I picked the closest.)

A lot of major companies are choosing to build and develop here (Intel, Meta, Amazon, Google, etc.) so the population and job market are also growing.
