It’s doable, but it’s a hands-on niche even with a manager.Excited to chat and help however I can!

The city also confirms if the utilities have capacity which they do.Its a simple case of NIMBYs having a huge voice in this jurisdiction. you are doing everything right. just file a couple lawsuits get a good lawyer and keep going. 

At the end of the lease term, it's a simple as printing that spreadsheet so it shows all itemized deductions from the security deposit.

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

Quote from @Richard Schubert: Closed and now have the keys in my hand.

Hi Jim,We have a handful of properties and use zillow for the application process.

For those interested, a combination of mortgages with no “due on sale” clause, mortgage companies loose due diligence, and title insurers willingness to “turn a blind eye” to practices that wouldn’t pass scrutiny now, resulted in tactics like the “second mortgage crank” which not only allowed investors to purchase properties with no money out of pocket but allowed investors to actually walk away from closing with “cash in their pocket”.

Simple mistakes can be very costly.  

Banking has changed. 30 years ago, you could walk into my bank, chat for a while, shake hands, and leave with advice or a loan check.

Simple does NOT mean "easy" or pain free.
