No one can helpfully answer the questions you pose without more specific information.Have you walked through the property?

Determine what type of property you want to buy - What Zip code, what condition homes, price range, etc.Contact 3-4 realtors that helped buyer agent buy the type of homes you are looking to buy.Then go with the 1 realtor that you connected with the most.

I'm happy to help!

Hope that helps, and feel free to reach out if you want to dive into this more!

Quote from @Ricardo Lemus: Hi there,You guys probably went thru some of my post already and even help me with some experiences - Thanks a lot :)This time, after 6 months on this, I think part of my brain is saying that somehow I am in the right direction, and the other part is saying something is going on with the rent price I have set for my properties.

Welcome to the BP community @Maryann Nichols There are many here to help on your journey.

Focus on key areas first (like floors, walls, kitchen, or bathroom), which may help you handle the costs more gradually, even if it means moving in furniture or updating fixtures down the line.Also, since the tenant left it in rough shape, be sure to document all the damage (photos, receipts) in case you decide to pursue reimbursement through their security deposit or in court.

As far as SingleKey actually paying out on claims for tenant non-payment up to 12 months, property damages up to $10k reimbursed, covering 30 days of vacant property losses and helping out with tenant evictions up to $2k (as advertised), curious if anyone on here can attest to SingleKey actually paying out on these claims successfully.

Here are a few strategies I recommend for scaling your portfolio:Leverage What You Have:Consider using the equity in your duplex to help fund your next property.

Knowing your current state comps is a great place to start and a real estate agent can help pull those figures quickly.
