Best of luck 👍🏻 @Justin This is almost perfect advice but you do need 3.5% down with an FHA mortgage.

That said, if managing sounds overwhelming or you’re strapped for time, hiring a property manager from the start is a perfectly valid option.

RentRedi is perfect for applications and background checks (you can also set clear lease terms and automate rent collection through RentRedi).

No more going to three different stores looking for the perfect faucet!

If this sounds like your perfect playground, go for it :) There are STR restrictions in these areas, so make sure you know what you're buying before you do. 2.

.- Unfamiliarity of software with my Bookkeeping and Accounting team.Altough not ideal, you may want to pay and do bookkeeping on both platforms for 3 months to see if you 100% want to make the switch.I still use Quickbooks, but the desktop version, it runs perfectly for all my bookkeeping needs.
