It is very effective in and of itself so it is something that can be done reasonably cheap without taking a ton of time.https://www.greengluecompany.com/

I would definitely focus on market growth oppose to finding a cheap property.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

The heating system, while straightforward, wasn't cheap for my 3 unit and will have a longer payback period. 

The programs are not cheap, but they are legit.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

It also prevents you from making the #1 noobie mistake, which is buying in the hood just because it's cheap.

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

Hello fellow landlords,The properties in question are in a market that although it is not cheap, it draws lots of money-cautious tenants.

Always gonna be a whole bunch of cheap old houses with a whole bunch of people on Section 8 ready to rent them.
