Networking is the name of the game, so definitely attend as many local meetups as you can. 

But this was definitely a reality check, thank you for responding to my comment. 

I can tell you definitively that having STR's in the small exurban community I live in has been very bad. 

I’d suggest checking the condition of the new property first—you might need to put in some work if you plan to live there long-term.While I’m not a tax professional, and you should definitely consult one, keeping your current home as a rental seems like a solid move.

You’ll definitely want to open a separate account so you’re not commingling for book keeping purposes.

Think of it this way if it would’ve taken you 4 months to fill it, your ex-tenant most definitely wouldn’t agree to pay an additional month, would they??  

There are definitely exceptions to what i just said.

Hi there,Build-to-rent (BTR) companies like the ones you mentioned can definitely be a viable option, especially if you're looking to invest in areas away from your home base.

Definitely a great point to highlight. 

Your welcome @Nicole Dantz I will definitely keep up on this thread, it is amazing to me all the research I've done and little information found on this company......wish I would of done more before signing up and to come to find out they just verified themselves they only been in business under KFN since January.
