The person in the response above who got crushed by a $5000 repair never did have $100-200/mo. cashflow.

Like @John Underwood said, your cleaner and handy person can be of great help getting things done.

But the real secret to making money in real estate is finding the right properties at the right price—and that's where off-market deals come in.Off-market properties typically cost less than those listed on the MLS because sellers are often motivated by reasons other than price, like financial distress or personal circumstances.

I'm also in a 5 person group within gobundance called a 'gopod' and we meet weekly.

@Jason Lopez You don’t need an LLC to rent out a house in San Antonio, TX, but it can provide liability protection by separating your personal assets from your rental property.

I personally again in my opinion only.. but these guys could be fake lenders.. for sure HML  do not have a requirement that they can only lend to a corp..

Instead of debates and personal opinion, look for proof https://www.ladbs.org/docs/default-source/forms/plan-check-2017/single-family-dwelling-duplex-plan-review-list.pdf under G (Interior Env) which defines the minimum requirement of a habitable room (aka bedroom or bathroom).

AND prices have come down a bit in the last few years.Get a good grip on your personal spending and CUT BACK on everything for a couple of years.

I personally offer my guests free access to Netflix, Hulu and Disney+.

Neighborhoods there are usually in better shape (although Baltimore is very much block by block), and in my opinion, the quality of the tenant pool is much better.Oh, and great idea checking out the properties in person—the pictures you see on the MLS can be very deceptive lol.
