Pretty straight forward and reliable.

Although we may see more inventory hit the market as people can escape "rate lock".I invest in today's market by searching hundreds of properties on the MLS, then going to see the top 10-20, then making an offer on the best at a price where I can cashflow after all expenses and putting 25% down.

Otherwise, they're more reliable, cheaper and harder to break. 

This involves thorough research on local trends, networking with other investors and property managers, and finding reliable contractors who deliver quality work on budget.

I know investing is a marathon and not a sprint, but with house hacking in particular you get locked into one year windows.

I agree with several of the above posts that winter guests should be a steady and reliable way to COVER monthly expenses.

You wait for them to leave, you move in and change the locks.

Looking for something I can use other than the basic home internet to manage the locks and cameras at my property remotely.

I am not sure if this is the right place or not but I wanted some input into any obvious issues with my lease option offers to the tenant buyer that earns plenty of income but doesn't have the cash right now and wants to improve credit before purchasing but would like to lock in the price as our market is still struggling with inventory. 

Current property manager appears to be unresponsive and also seems to lack work ethics.Looking for recommendations of reliable, professional and responsive property manager who manages in those areas.
