or never, if purchased incorrectly.today's random example of how chasing cash flow can go sideways:Sell at a loss or rent at a lossalso, you mentioned buying a distressed property and rehabbing it. 

Agree with Melanie and you also mention smartest way and best returns.typicwlly higher returns are equal to higher risk (where you could lose it all) stock market has been returning 20% last few years why not put it there or in some decent stocks? 

-Booking.com is a very large and established company that has been around much longer than airbnb and vrboCons:-more listings to make sure are all staying maintained assuming you are also on airbnb and vrbo-you have to pay them their commission back at the end of each month which is a pain in the a** and is an unnecessary extra step-payouts can take longer as you mentioned-it has been impossible for me to find anyway to contact customer service over the phone and instead you have to refer to their forums and FAQs for any answers you need.Hope you found this helpful.

That's why I came across turnkey properties for some hand holding as you mentioned.  

I don't remember the exact cost when I did it but I remember thinking it was cheaper than expected.I didn't see a comment mentioning that you should just include utilities in the rent and increase it based off that so I'll be that guy.

Since you're relocating to a new market, the best advice (like someone mentioned) is to figure out where YOU will be happy.

Seeing as you mentioned you have very little liquidity in after-tax and savings accounts, I'd likely recommend focusing on building up a buffer of accessible and liquid dollars in an after-tax brokerage account prior to maxing out a Mega Backdoor Roth.

Thanks, Haresh I couldn’t find the numbers you mentioned about them online.

Ideally, I'd create a shortlist of PMCs that other investors have recommended, and then put them through that selection process that you've mentioned.

I’ll be sure to keep looking into everything you mentioned.
