If 3 properties are a bit too much to handle right now, you could sell one and focus on the other two like others have mentioned. :) 

Now that you mention that I do recall him saying this.

Most serious and qualified tenants are searching on the major 3rd party platforms you mentioned + realtor.com, redfin, and a few others.Apartments.com & homes.com are owned by the same company and may offer some additional marketing options.Another strategy to consider here is social media - video marketing.

The thread was started by @Jonathan GreeneAfter reading through a number of replies, there was one poster  that mention his son and his son’s accomplishments that were going to take place and some that had already happened. it really got me to thinking.So many times people count their accomplishments and goals for themselves, but how often do we consider helping fulfill the accomplishments of our family, especially our children as a personal accomplishment for ourselves? 

.  :-) Congrats on those deals  I just have not wanted to take on hundreds of investors.. my one I did we raised half the one you mention ( 7.5 mil)  with only 6 investors so On a very personal level with each..

I just had my first tenants move into my property on the 1st, when doing the final walkthrough I reminded them that there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen, I did mention this to them before they signed the lease.

Not to mention it's 70 miles away and the stress/sleepless nights. 5k and a free property?

I have formed/created an LLC, just waiting to receive my EIN number, so I can start contacting the leads I find hoping to get them under contract. 

I drove by the properties I was interested in but unfortunately missed the registration date so I’ll be waiting until 2025.

Would you wait till the homeowner's policy is up for renewal and then change it to a rental policy?
