Adding a SmartThings hub would allow automating Alexa Ring Alarm arm/disarm and then run the keypad code through RBOY.

Hey Alex - A little background here, I've originated $6 million in hard money loans (my own Ohio based company) and bought 80,000 square feet of storage.

@Alexa Ferguson great info!!

@Heeyeon Chung You can't force the seller to provide the financials. 

@Heeyeon Chung it sounds like a decent plan to me, but as always, the devil's in the details.As you probably know, rates are rising, and will likely continue to increase in the near term...what will rates be like when you go to refi this property?

Alex,As long as you have a good team, especially a PM that is good and you can trust ( to a point, always check on them and their accounting to make sure) it can be good. my houses are 3 hrs away, so i do not manage them myself, i will shoot out there every now and then if i have to, to look at other properties or just to check to see how the properties are ( usually do not tell the PM i am going out there, this keeps them on their toes, especially if they get a email from me)

@JT Alexa - I echo what everyone else says, you do not need an agent to find a rental.

Like @Yi @Yi Chung Chen stated, if your not removing load bearing walls, then a simple permit will work.Good Investing...
