They have a mental list of hard to collect rent addresses and they may help connect you and the owner. 

My mental calculus is that I want returns in excess of 25% above what the passive S&P 500 Index has returned historically (~8%).  

I like your ready, shoot, aim mentality.  

Part of the problems landlords have with low income housing is tenants that can’t afford the rent, tenants whose life’s are out of control, and tenants with mental health and tenants with anger issues.  

I am a regional clinical director where I oversee multiple facilities serving individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.

In highly touristy areas like lakes or vacation spots, an STR typically generates higher income from short stays but may not attract long-term tenants due to seasonal demand.However, if the property is in a more versatile location, such as near schools, businesses, or urban centers, it may work as an LTR, providing steady income and fewer management demands. 

I am trying not to buy into the guru mentality, so I was hesitant to buy the Jack Bosch course due to the expense.

We lived in it as a single family residence and over the years of things that looked like they had been renovated started failing… we realized the owner before seemed to have a slap it together cheaply himself mentality.

The owner had been living in these conditions for a long time due to mental health issues.It was heartbreaking to see.We agreed on a price and closed very quickly to provide relief.

Initially signed up for property management for few months before I'm mentally prepared to start self-managing.
