Since this four-plex is in my region, I will be the one taking care of maintenance and management while the investor won't have to worry about anything but to receive the money haha.Let's confirm a few things before you get questions from a bunch of other folks on the forum.How much of your own cash/equity are you planning to contribute/invest to this deal?

The same goes for me and other folks who lean towards "yes." 

well you might want to take a look at the new crop of Turnkey the folks i do business there are hardly lip sticks on pigs..

I've tried the lower 6-7% PMs and usually you'll either pay mark ups on repairs (what you've noted) or pay extra fees (i.e. labor hours, extra calls) that you may or may not notice. 

Charge extra for an ESA.

@Matthew Beasley, not really anything consistent from the folks in the Charleston area. 

Regarding the payout inefficiencies, I remember the nightmare that some folks were experiencing with state unemployment benefits during Covid.

If you’re using leverage, be extra cautious with your underwriting to ensure the deal still works at today’s rates.Economic Uncertainty: Inflation, potential recessions, or shifts in demand could affect rents, vacancy rates, and property values in some markets.Increased Operating Costs: Rising insurance premiums, property taxes, and maintenance costs can cut into profit margins, particularly for buy-and-hold investments.Regulatory Risks: Some areas are increasing restrictions on landlords, particularly short-term rentals.

Many folks don't drink and might be annoyed, in recovery etc.We do put out a nice welcome basket with some drinks and snacks.

Others investors drive extra ROI by thing like ability to reposition property for greater profitability and or less risk; ability to rehab property at less cost, ability to identify areas where gentrification is likely to occur, etc.
