If so, consider that with a stock you have NO CONTROL whereas with your rentals you have quite a bit of control over how the business is run and how successful it is.

With C or below you probably can't avoid some of it so I'd go with a recency bias, ie anyone who has a long period of time between their last eviction and successful rentals other places will be a safer bet than the guy that just got evicted. 

There are a ton more things to go through, but start there to get some idea of how it will perform.

@Marquise Bailey-DillardCongrats on becoming debt-free and on your first successful BRRR/house hack—it sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation!

Periodic 1031 exchanges when appreciation stalls out, or performance goes down, or trapped equity is costing you return are all great strategic moves.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Hey Justine,You can indeed perform a cost segregation study on a property that is currently your primary residence and is being converted into a rental.

By this time next year, we aim to have invested in our first rental property and improved our credit, setting a strong foundation for a successful and fulfilling future.I am open to any knowledge or advice anyone has to give as I am currently learning about real estate investing. 

@Deal H.with a successful BRRRR there isn't much, or any, cash flow either. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
