Could be the best money you spend on the deal!

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

If anyone spends any time in Europe, barely any jurisdiction impose these limitations on homeowners/builders yet people live in much smaller spaces... and very happily.

How would you recommend, or what resources would you refer for us to properly figure out how we spend our time and appropriately get compensated for it?

@Chris Lin,Thank you very much for spending time with me on the phone last night. 

For my area it isn't worth going the extra mile or spending extra money for something big and luxurious.

You are like many others who are getting started and unfortunately your generation is screwed because of the amount of spending is older generations have done and put the debt on you which also has led to record inflation.All you can do now is plan for the future and don’t force things but invest wisely when the time is right.

You should only consider switching when your current software has a significant flaw or lacks features that force you to spend excessive time on workarounds.

If you have at least $2,000 to spend or once you scale to that point you could run ads to get your seller leads to come to you and usually these people are just scrolling and your ad pops up that you're looking to "pay cash for homes." 

Spending on expensive upgrades is not the answer to improve your tenant base in this type of area.Keep the homes habitable, clean, and safe.
