I also did some investigating online and see the renter has a tendency not to hold down a job.I offered asking price (fair market) because it was the sellers bottom line and the fact there were already tenants renting.

Moreover, with this in mind, don't expect significant cash flow (if any at all) depending on your investment strategy.

If you can use it to house hack a duplex, triplex, our fourplex to start out somewhere you wouldn't mind living - you'll learn much more quickly.

While it’s a bigger initial expense, it aligns well with your long-term retirement strategy and could provide peace of mind for years to come.

So I will keep you on mind if I go that route.

The other thing to keep in mind with self-showing lockboxes is that it's incredibly easy for someone use it as rent scam.

Meet like-minded people and start building your own community of people who willingly share helpful informationAll the best!

(which blows my mind how many people think that if they take equity from a property they do not view that as borrowing)...  

It's been a while so the details are fuzzy in my mind. 

Hey Jae do you have markets in mind?
