I live in the city and have a freakish map of it in my head that my wife is still shocked by when she gives me an address ("2100 block of _______Ave.?"

do you plan to live in that property?

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

The units are very utilitarian, in the first listing there are only 2 art pieces in the living room, they are too small for the wall, and they look like they were ordered off of amazon which isn't necessarily bad but it also doesn't stand out.

helping scale is what I do for a living ..
