For example, I told a landlord I could sell his property for $450,000.

Hi Daniel, condos can be a great low-maintenance option for LTRs, especially for absentee landlords since the HOA handles exterior upkeep.

@Steve Vaughan  when we went through the 08 to 2010 debacle and over 200 landlords handed me back their houses.. and lost ALL their money... it was an eye opener and they were all landlords all west coast based   a few on east coast.but they walked..  

Start by researching affordable states with strong rental markets and landlord-friendly laws.

Watch the old classic "Pacific Heights" and you will never want to be a LTR landlord, at least in California lol. 

If you are interested in becoming a landlord or buy and hold investor a great way to get started is by house hacking a multifamily with an owner occupied loan. 

All liability will be put on you As a landlord otherwise. 

I’d love to connect with experienced landlords and investors who can share advice on getting started, selecting properties, and navigating the Section 8 process.

Portland is one of the WORST places to be a landlord should you have to leave early and you want to rent out your home there.  

Congrats and welcome to the world of being a landlord!
