Look, I have no idea who Eric is, what type of person he is but I will say after a quick search I saw that he did in fact sell his company for MAJOR $$$ and that he is active in Section 8, no idea if his course is good or garbage but still felt the urge to respond because I am so tired of hearing SCAMMER, find it online to EVERY SINGLE post asking about any course.I don’t think anyone used the word “scammer.”

The crypto can be considered as EMD or down payment, the rest of the transaction will happen just as if you were running a traditional transaction.If a seller is completely against the idea of receiving crypto, you can always use a service like Bitpay to convert the cryptocurrency to cash.Last but not least, I always ask clients... why sell your crypto asset when you use it to secure a loan?

Do you recommend I property manage this myself, or would that be a bad idea. 

I’m open to ideas and keen to hear what approaches have worked well for others who’ve found success in real estate.

Still open to market ideas (so if you have any ideas, please share!)

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

Property taxes and insurance costs are best obtained through local county websites or reaching out to insurers directly for quotes specific to the area.Tools like BP Pro and Reventure can be helpful for an overview, but it’s a good idea to validate their data against primary sources to ensure accuracy.

Nice idea, but if you can convert it to gas/propane, I would do that.
