Some folks do well and others lose their shirt and go bankrupt.It is definitely a risk and you are creating a job for yourself, but judging by your wording, you kinda want a business instead of investing.It is scalable based on your area and how much risk you can tolerate.

BE CAREFUL and choosey when it comes to finding a mentor, some folks will hear your income and be very interested in "helping" for the wrong reasons.

Good afternoon, folks, Just saying hello. 

They are used to chatting with folks to find out what/why they are movings so could be helpful if you don't want to go property management route. 

There is also a much larger inventory of rentals for a prospective resident to look at, a few years back we were in the 3ks for vacants and this year bumping up near 5k during the peak season (in my opinion probably due to the low entry price point for investors compared to the rest of the country as well as low interest rates on loans for folks moving out of their homes).

If you use the agent finder tool you’ll get me, so save yourself the time there.As far as the municipality, most of my folks are keeping a close eye on Clay, Cicero and North Syracuse.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

The extra month's deposit will cover most of that reducing the risk of nonpayment when they break that lease early. 

If you choose to accept it, make them apply and pass your screening, add them to the lease, and charge extra rent to make it worth your trouble.

I know there are some Renatus folks there, but not a really strong presence and I intend on changing that.I spent years digging through YouTube and buying books.
