Since Landlords are going to be monitored even more now with the price gouging issues surrounding the fires in LA, I would be extra cautious.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Yes buying distressed property is a good way to get extra profit.  

If you want to buy your first property ASAP, house hacking (duplex, triplex, or renting extra rooms) is one of the best ways to start with a low down payment while learning property management.

Our current mortgage terms include a late fee after 5 days, so they’re already paying extra each month and have to split the total monthly payment up between 2-3 payments when they get their pay check.

Extra set of eyes, second opinion and diversity of your own investments

Smart locks and security cameras (outdoor only) add an extra layer of control.

You can always take extra courses or certifications later to level up your skills.

For me, this is just a few extra bucks I have to pay to the CPA industrial complex.

These will catch a buyer’s eye in any market, and it's no extra material cost to do so!
