Or are there other methods you’d recommend that could align better with my goals?

I think this is the method I would like to go as it fits in line with what I envisioned. 

I wasn’t trying to be long winded, with too much detail, in my initial post but I actually did this method on a fix and flip.

However, the most effective method is to simply tell the tenant that they'll need to provide proof of insurance prior to or on the day 1 of the start of the lease, otherwise the keys will not be provided to them.

I’m sourcing carefully and trying to approach it methodically, especially with the added layer of investing out of state.It’s good to hear advice from someone with experience.

I’ve had more success filling vacant units by word of mouth/ networking with other agents in my market recently than I have through the typical advertising methods.

That creates a compelling opportunity for investors willing to get in ahead of the curve.I’ve been investing there since 2019 and have built a 12-door portfolio primarily using the BRRRR method.

Once you have that amount of units (leveraged), focus on paying those off via snowball method.
