Because I am not particularly smart and surely someone must have thought about this. 

@Kevin KeatingWhat you're doing is s smart idea because of the low maintenance. 

That being said, how does one go about getting architect plans for a home to get bids from contractors in a smart way?

Otherwise, if you prefer not to go through that process, you'll be hit with a 25% tax on your rental income, which can eat into your profits.I also recommend investing in a couple of cameras and a good smart lock for security and monitoring.

You’ve come to the right place to connect with some very smart investors.

Holding onto it is a smart decision, and you're entering property investing in a solid position.To get started, focus on ensuring that the rental income will cover your mortgage, taxes, insurance, and any maintenance costs, leaving room for profit.

Either do the blocking and tackling of one on one help here or stop with the "I'm so smart, you should be better" nonsense.
