Hi Matt and all,I’m a transplant (former military as well) with one apartment building in the N Hills and on the hunt for the next one. 

Hey @Thanh Lu, so if you only have a couple of units, then self management isn't that hard.The key to doing it right is setting it up properly and keeping up on maintenance.I can count the number of late night calls from guests on one hand.

It's a good reality check to be cautious and to do the proper due diligence, even with some early success.

there is a proper in Shasta lake that we might look into to getting as a BRRRR but I need to do some more analysis on it. 

A renter in my area would pay the exact same amount for a brand new manufactured home as they would a stick built (they probably wouldn't know the difference since its put on a proper foundation anyway).  

Happy Hunting!

With proper tenant screening and systems in place you can absolutely be a successful landlord.

Poor communicators, poor housekeeping skills, prescription med abuse, big dogs that they couldn't properly care for, damaging, etc.

I’d like to add that it’s also landlord-friendly—licensing is not required and there aren’t any rent control laws in the state.Likewise, both Greg and Eric have already spoken at length about Montgomery, but I want to draw your attention to a few other under-the-radar markets in the state that also have the potential to cash flow well.The places I had in mind include suburbs outside of Huntsville proper, like Decatur and Hartselle.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊
