I list on Zillow, primarily communicate with them over Zillow messages and then give our remote login code to enter the home. 2) Maintenance between tenants - This one will be tricky as I will have to transfer all utilities to my name and send multiple vendors to the house for getting the house rent ready.

However down the line if we fully converted the garage and got the extra bedroom up to code we could get more, especially through section 8.

I purchased in 2019 and there was certainly a learning curve (understanding county rules and code, getting to know the local renter demographic, dealing with a limited pool of service providers in the area, understanding fire risk and mitigation; etc).

I live in San Antonio and I have a semi-large portfolio of SFH rentals on the far west side of the county in zip code 78245 and 78253 - two of the fastest growing zips in the US.

You need to understand that it is true that the housing authority pays more in some zip codes.

I heard of a beach condo where they had to replace all the railings on the building being out of code.  

You have to check the landlord tenant code in your state to see the proper way to give notice. 

I was not given an access code.

Some parts of this zip code are even located within Hilliard Schools. 43204 is a very diverse zip code.

This was in 2021 so they are probably more strict about it now, but still something to look into.The interest rate for an investment property in the U.S. can be quite high if you are a foreigner and using a DSCR loan.
