Keep that in mind:)Regarding partnering, have tried it several times and most times it ends with a split.So, if you go forward with partnership, recommend making sure you both agree in writing, on how a split would work.Otherwise, you an both share everything you leanr and help each other out monetarily as needed.

You should check if the bank feeds work with your bank otherwise, it's a deal breaker unless you don't mind manually doing the data entry.

Keep in mind your other associated costs with being an agent.

If you have any specific neighborhoods in mind it easier to provide feedback. 

I have used ALE successfully but 4X rent is not what we got we got 2X there is a limit in the insurance polices as to what the insurance will pay but its a decent move at least it was for us

By getting involved in the community and building relationships with long-term residents, you’ll stay top-of-mind for distressed sellers.I hope this helps!

I just sold a rental property which had quite a bit of equity from appreciation and principal pay down through the years.

No one is going to come to your door stalking you, but feel free to pay a few grand a year to "hide" your identity that will be able to be found in 15 minutes or in a request from the tenant if they request ownership of the LLC or the operating agreement to understand who they are signing a lease with.

The only issue is with a bit lower rent there's a higher number of applicants that won't qualify but I don't mind the volume to get it filled. 

Since I am having my prospective tenants cover the cost I would prefer to have the lowest cost option that gives you the most bang for your buck, but at the same time I want to be sure that what I am paying for is reliable.
