Of course, you can delegate most of these tasks to employees, but then you should also budget time for employee management, hiring, and training.

Quote from @Vanessa Lule: Hi all,I’m in talks with a landlord about leasing a property for $3,600/month, but that’s above my budget.

In most areas in San Diego, that is condos, town houses, etcWith that budget, I would be leery of recommending San Diego.

Come up with a budget.

How much can you budget for furnishings and all kitchen items and creature comforts for the ones you want to MTR.If you have a vacant 6-unit, you have great possibilities to try all strategies.

Are you attractive tenants that meet your screening criteria readily and keeping them as long as you budget for (vacancy rate)?

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

Ultimately, it’s about what aligns with your budget, risk tolerance, and long-term plans.

I've used an online designer before, you send her photos, measurements of the room and existing furniture, and your budget and she presents you with design options and the links to buy!

In particular, the ability to auto-sync and categorize bank transactions (similar to Stessa), easily track expenses against budgets, and streamline lease creation with lease templates is quite nice.
