In general these are either growth markets or markets short housing that has significant hurdles to adding additional housing. 

Is the portal that the landlord and tenants use an additional charge?

Regarding insurance adding additional umbrella insurance is great idea. 

So you have some great resources right off the bat, my additional Referrals would be too many :)

Despite no additional renovations being necessary, our efficient strategy and swift turnaround led to a same-day sale at $225,000.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential! 

We look at lenders (so long as they lend in the asset class you are considering) as an additional line of due diligence (they deeply care about their money and they are likely more sophisticated than you are).

Letting someone out of the lease is not the same as nullifying that the lease ever occurred; it is just an agreement that you won't go after any additional months of future rents that would otherwise be owed.

That would be a helpful addition to your plan as you would further reduce your cost of living.Also don’t forget from that $600 you are planning on getting in cash flow you have taxes, insurance, maintenance, capex, and vacancy to consider.With two homes, you may want to keep that extra $20k as an emergency fund rather than spending it on a third property and then be left with no emergency funds.

Additionally, as a new investor, I am curious if you would recommend this strategy based on your accumulated knowledge and expertise.
