It’s good to budget for unforeseen expenses.Regarding PMI, it’s worth discussing directly with your loan servicer since many lenders require holding the property for a period or reaching specific equity thresholds before removal.If market rents are $2,200–$2,500, hiring a property manager could help you optimize rent while taking the burden of tenant screening off your plate.

I've watched  it unfold many times over the years.

Thank you for your time! 

It feels like the focus has shifted from creating value to chasing quick payouts, with little regard for the end buyer.
