I would only suggest a property management company set up if you are not working for an employer and are interested in retirement account contributions + deducting health insurance costs.If you are already working for an employer who is providing a retirment account plan + subsidizing health insurance costs, in my opinion, no point in setting it up.

If you employ the BRR"R"RR strategy now, you’ll be in a strong position to capitalize on discounted properties and refinancing opportunities when the market conditions align.In short, while the BRRRR method we once knew has become harder to execute, adapting it to BRR"R"RR makes it a viable and profitable strategy in today’s market.

However, this approach might add complexity, such as additional tax filings, self-employment taxes, and administrative costs.

I retired from federal employment and never looked back. 

I think to accomplish this you are probably going to need to employ a couple of strategies.

In general, make sure you ALWAYS verify stable employment AND income.

This question has come up a few times with prospective clients recently, so I thought I'd shed some light on it.Generally, being an employee in a real estate business does not automatically qualify you for REPS unless you own at least 5% of the employer.

Build self-employment by leveraging real estate activities, staying financially prepared, and transitioning to business after generating cash flow.Good luck!

The trouble I keep finding with this is that I am self employed now, they probably will ask for 2 years of proof of income as a self/business owner, right? 

Scranton PA is a great spot to invest.Pros:- Low cost of buy-in / not much needed in comparison to other areas due to affordability in purchase price- High-Cap Rates- High Cash Flows- Stable market / continuing to appreciate- Beautiful revitalization of the downtown- Influx of jobs, employment opportunities - Plenty of renters- New Amtrak service coming- Surrounding neighborhoods are sought after, solid schools, "home team" mentality in most of the towns where people want to stayFor the Cons:- I can't think of any OVERALL cons that couldn't be avoided in working with the right team.
