I helped the buyer use a home warranty to cover certain issues that the seller would not fix.

(Property Meld for one)--- Owners often think a PMC can just enter a tenant's home to make repairs, but don't really understand the potential legal issues of entering when a tenant is not home.--- Owners don't understand the percentage of maintenance appointments tenants miss!

@Eric Huntermark There are two big issues to be a real estate investor.

I could probably rent the house as-is but I would hate for it to be an issue if there was ever a fire or something drastic.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

To help avoid a lot of these issues I would think about buying a "Modular" or use a "Tiny Home" vendor who offer these in many states.

Getting more mortgages does not help me with the two issues I outlined - spending less time on real estate and freeing up head-space.
