The contract was a simple 3 page one and I wrote this in.Also, it is a single family being rented as a rooming house (which is technically not legal here).

They will check for everything to ensure safety and habitable. i.e. doors/locks, lights, detectors, windows/screens, appliances (stove with anti-tip plate), hand rails, wiring in the unit and in the basement, lead paint (if children).....etc6.

Quote from @Mike Grudzien: Jonathan,Hands down, this is the "bible":https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/lend-to-liveDon't leave home without it! 

It’s simple, people who spend good money on the home of their dreams don’t want STR’s next door to them.  

I've sold a couple lately and have been seeing them close around 7.25-7.5% CAP.If Dollar General were to go belly up, the owner would have a big issue on their hands.

Just a simple 499 sq ft city approved plan, single story, 1 bed/1bath/full kitchen adu with living space.

If you're only doing a couple or so transactions per year probably ok.On the other hand, you can have more control and eliminate the need to go through a custodian for investments by the use of checkbook IRA or Solo 401k.

It gives you one property that can potentially pay for itself while putting a roof over your head and giving you experience as a hands-on landlord.

AI is not some magical, all-knowing miracle that can pull leads out of thin air.AI is simply a faster, more hands-off way to find the same low-quality leads you get from DMM, cold calling, and SMS marketing.You’re not improving lead quality—you’re just finding bad leads faster.

I mean, is it as simple as finding a few recent sales within a few miles on zillow or is it as complicated as finding a commercial RE agent who I'd have to pay to give me a CMA?
