Quote from @Jason Baker: I’m A 11th Grader And I’m Committed To Being A Young Real Estate Investor After HighSchool...Just Trying To Seek AdviceThe average person who went to college carries $40,000 in debt. 

It’s ran like a business, not a personal investment.Given the heavy workload I have being the CEO/founder of the wealth management company, my wife has set up a well oiled machine on the property management side, due to her perfectionist drive however, it still means that she's constantly dealing with tenants and toilets and replying to items at all hours of the day and night.

I just realized that section8 and forcing the value in a home "FOR RIGHT NOW" is not for me.

Her leaving was bittersweet, as it was for a great personal opportunity for her.I’d love advice from you seasoned landlords:Should I lower the requirements in light of the area’s circumstances, or wait it out?

Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies.

Many folks would I bet…You do realize that you just defined the word "Politician"....

The only thing that keeps me from owning a house for my personal use is the baggage it comes with like maintenance, time and overhead costs.But I understand It'll cut costs and is something I should really think about.Thanks

Until you see the property in person the numbers are completely meaningless unless you have a working relationship with that listing broker for years.

Several options you can explore to get the down payment capital: Solo401k; HELOC on personal residence or from equity of the SFR; Cash Value Life Insurance Policy; Business Credit; Private Lenders, to name a few.

Personally I don't ask for pics unless there is an issue and she sends them to me automatically.IMHO if you have a good cleaner that you trust, asking for photos is probably superfluous.
