@Evan Polaski  Thanks for the informatiinI plan to do light rehabs with a known contact of mine and we split the profits.Only planning on smaller rehabs like maybe buy  a 250 K house using HML and do light rehab

My Realtor has since voiced that there were bad operations on the team and multiple mishaps with other clients — Realtors putting amendments in front of clients the day of closing and their inability to effectively communicate with clients the amenities of the units.

A spreadsheet has its place in your daily operations and tracking efforts, but I highly recommend starting with a software like QuickBooks Online to track your expenses in a more formalized manner.

I'm betting your numbers look like mine, and CapEx saving is eating up a lot of it.

This ordeal has shed light on the risks associated with relying solely on fintech apps, particularly those that operate without a banking license and depend on third-party banks for processing.

My wife and I own 4 units and operate a 5th as an MTR arbitrage, and we definitely use furnishedfinder.com as well as AirBnB and Vrbo (min 16 day stay and no instabook). 

@Adonis AvilesPGT is what I have used on some of mine.

I know the law and do not operate my business based on other individuals that confuse moral with legal.  

I have investment properties here in Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

That's just my $.02 but I'm sure others have been operating differently with success.As for neighborhoods, West Side, South Buffalo, Kaisertown, decent sections of Black Rock and Riverside, pockets of North Buffalo, maybe some sections of Cheektowaga are going to fall into those categories.
