If you raise an extra $500k you should have $2k/mo in cash flow, still bad but at least it’s positive. 

A: Landlord has an obligation to provide clean water, suck it up and buy it.B: Hard water is bad for your plumbing, buy it hopefully to decrease future repairs.C: Water softeners, like under-sink disposals, ice makers, ceiling fans, love to break and cost you money.

You don't have to worry about plumbing, bad tenants, fixing issues. 2.

I had my fair share of bad experiences with Columbus PMs and want to make sure every investors here find a good PM before starting your investing journey in Columbus.

Your call.I have been hired by sellers to list/sell/handle the transaction when the buyer looked like they would be someone the sellers had a previous relationship with....I told the sellers they could make me the "bad guy" if something came up the sellers wanted done but were hesitant to insist on because they knew (or had a previous marriage with) the buyer.Best to you! 

So what I’m saying is, we aren’t that bad and we aren’t that great.

Communicate, treat everyone with respect, and provide ample time.

Seller did finally come and get their proceed though.. it was an extreme Hoarder house one so bad that I could not even go in it..

I will most likely just buy a new fridge for the place anyways as Im getting very good cash flow on it and don't want to start off on a bad note with the tenants.

I guide clients who are looking to treat their STR as active.Somethings to consider are whether you should get a cost segregation study done, creating a log of your hours and having an understanding of what hours count / don't count.
