Eventbright is a great resource as well.

The income of a property manager is dependent on whether you property is filled with tenants as well. 

But really you’re just creating a second job for yourself and one that doesn’t pay very well if it even is cash flow positive at all 😆I used to buy houses for STR but now that I’ve got several STRs up and running that I bought many years ago, I stopped buying STR once mortgage rates went up and housing prices went up.

After adding an extra bedroom and bathroom and rehabbing the house, I was well over budget.

Well said.  

I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

Any good HML will be happy to share the contact info of borrowers so you can see how easy the process was and how well they treated the investor.Can you share a recent closing document or HUD?

I’m a realtor in Indiana and have an investor client doing really well with Section 8 rentals.
