Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Great place to own buy and holds, as others have mentioned and as you have witnessed it's certainly street by street.

As mentioned banks have very strict underwriting requirements and will finance but they have limits to what they will finance.

Not to mention the FED meets this week and are expected to drop the FED rate by .25 basis points.

Mentioned usury so as long as you dont violated that .. and one note one investor not tied to any project..

Out of your 119 posts on BiggerPockets, over 1/3rd of them mysteriously mention Innago.They all magically happen within the same 10 minute time-frame every week as well.

For this reason I would be more inclined to selling and parking your cash in more attractive rental markets.You speak right to my worries that I have been mentioning to my wife.

Just wanted to call attention to one thing:You mentioned, 'I make around $80k per year' and 'Looking to save for a year or two.

I have cash as well, that's why I mentioned having both options.

You've gotten great advice here but one piece nobody has mentioned yet is the cost of the appraisal. $1,200 is super high in my experience. $300-600 is average if it's just a vanilla SFR, and even the last MF appraisal I had (8 units) was only $800.
