An emergency fund would be a big help in case of sudden disaster.- Make sure you use formal, written leases and not just "Hey you can move in and chip in for the rent" casual agreements.

Here are the numbers: * if I missed something feel free to communicate   Monthly Rent: $1,395 PITI: $594.85 Property Management: $139.50 (10%) Vacancy Rate: $97.65 (7%) Cap Ex: 69.45 (5%) Utility/Misc. (5%) Cash Flow: $382.43 *CF is used to build a 6 month emergency fund of PITI.

I can be reached on my cell at any time because we handle emergencies plumbing, electrical etc. 

The other 20% will be allocated in an emergency fund.3. 

I was hoping if we can find another good in house property manager but am open to property management companies.We already outsourced our maintenance side to appfolio, tenants call appfolio 24/7 line and they call the contractor if emergency otherwise create a ticket which gets emailed to our contractors.

I want to further my education by emerging my self into the business by bringing value to one of your investing businesses, by bringing you deals, and learning the business by doing that.

You want to make sure the tenants know you will handle emergencies immediately and any other request promptly.I almost would suggest not to get a full service management company for the first year or 6 months as how will you know what level of service to expect.
