Coming from a health care background and Not having any previous experience in Real Estate or sales, I am having trouble getting the Bio started.  

Research market rents, carefully calculate expenses, and ensure you have a solid lease agreement.

As everyone said, 20% is fair for a manager to take care of a STR.

Don't care for the Pistons or Cavaliers.

However, with your high W2 income and your partner’s weaker credit and cash flow, you might need to structure the agreement carefully.

As for the zip code you mentioned, some of the areas in there are nice due to steady rental demand, you just want to be very careful on the neighborhoods you select as some areas will be better than others.

Just focus on running the numbers carefully to ensure the property cash flows or at least covers expenses, and don’t hesitate to lean on resources here for advice.If you’re financing, look into FHA loans, as they’re great for first-time buyers purchasing up to 4-unit properties with low down payments.

Timing your next investment is all about balancing risk and financial comfort—trust your instincts and run the numbers carefully.

So I at least got that month taken care of.  

Who cares?
