Alternatively, I feel that a property manager could probably rent the property out and cash flow even after they take their cut, but I am worried about the screening process and potential tenants destroying my new home.

If you use a PM, you are cutting heavily into your profits.

We don't pay vendors by credit card or cashapp because it is far too hard to keep the accounting straight with a high volume of transactions to do that. 

This way, you can easily revisit details and pick up right where you left off.Avoid cutting corners to save money, as it often costs more in the end.

I think you can go as high as 15% but it's cutting into your margins and depends if you are a GC yourself or not. 150k is close to a million or more.

Just looking at Zillow I’m having a hard time making the numbers work between prop taxes, insurance, management on 20% Down vs cash currently earning 5% (albeit that 5% going away soon with rate cuts)  To be completely honest, there's not much right now that will give you decent cashflow without getting into a full rehab.

Looking for 1% deals will be cutting things close. 

There's a transaction fee cut off each payment (to cover the cost of the company that handles the transaction). 

Heavy cases of clear cut fraud and flat out lying to their investors. 

I would also cut down on the photo count.
