Another option is to do the BRRRR method, buying a distressed property from a wholesaler, direct to owner or even MLS sometimes, fix it up and force appreciation and then refinance all your money out. 

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

While I manage my expenses responsibly, I don’t have a significant amount of capital leftover each month to invest in holding properties or funding larger ventures.That’s why I’ve been exploring wholesaling as a potential entry point into real estate—it seems like a feasible way to build up the necessary capital while learning more about the market and the process.

That is what makes finding good tenants (pay rent on time, take care of the property and let you know when things need to be fixed) so important.

Go buy the worst house in a great A neighborhood that you can ADU or fix up.  

I don't want to say the amount until I close.

Even if you try to put a dollar amount next to each item and you don't have much experience, you won't be that far off.
