You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

Running detailed cash flow projections, factoring in their management fees and expected rent increases (you can use some of the great BiggerPockets Pro tools like the calculators to do this!)

If a co-host/PM is trying to charge you for questions that you definitely need to ask each potential candidate just to make sure they know what they are doing, RUN.

Furnace filters, though, are important for keeping things safe and running well, so I would say you could take care of those but leave fridge filters to the tenant.

They are much cheaper and still very nice and then I drive them until they are close to death and then sell while still running. 

Localize City (Homebuyers and investors who want a deeper understanding of neighborhood dynamics and potential risks)  AGAIN, ALL BS, I can show you neighborhoods that you will run away from if you sit online and  " learn" 8.

This will be tough to run from far away.

To me, there seems to be a "what first" issue I've run into.

Doesn’t matter how you do it, but that’s gonna be the best way.Even if your income doubled you have run into DTI issues

Keep this current home as our first rental, maybe slowly accumulate some others after being in our next home and having the first one run smoothly for a year or two I would say
