I follow the letter of the law( no matter how much I may not like it) that's part of my risk management and my reputation.

In fact my last completed purchase (I am under contract now for a different purchase) was huge negative cash flow.  

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Of course a visit to the county records office and -correct reading of the legal description would reveal that the tennis court lot was the one being sold.  

I also use QBO for my REI bookkeeping clients.  

My opinion on this is split between two answers:1) invest in your backyard.

There's a self-proclaimed Section 8 guru online who claims he hires random property managers through this website called Thumbtack.

I actually just did a live stream yesterday on my channel (youtube.com/@brady_morgan) that went over this exactly.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

Looking into getting my hands dirty and doing light rehabs or updates.
