@Stuart Udis I understand the importance of having the funds for repairs, vecancy and any issue that may happen.

One issue that I'm noticing is the range of reported insurance costs.

Despite the program's claims of providing exceptional training and support, my experience with Kristin has been far from satisfactory.First and foremost, I find it necessary to address the issue of non-payment.

Managing a property hours away can be challenging if any issues arise, but having a third-party property management company could help handle those situations and make things more manageable.I think you are in the right place to gain some insight on what would make you successful. 

.**** My current issue with the lender that I recently spoke with was that I had to have experience building a SFR on my own property and have sold or refinanced and held in order to be approved for the loan.

There is no issue doing it in your personal name. 

If that's your only issue, then you should be OK. 

Better than underground homes which have issues with moisture etc.

There are also ways to go about mindset shifts if that's a serious issue, but I don't know, it sounds like you've spent time with this property, you know all about it, and you have a bunch of other stuff going on in life.For instance, you decide not to raise rent all the way to market rate....This is probably a good move if you hate maintenance calls and your tenants know to handle some maintenance themselves because they are getting a bargain deal.

Markets with less growth during COVID-19 and a continued shortage in supply will fare better, as new construction home prices will make existing inventory more attractive.The tariffs will have a more significant impact on rents and property prices than immigration issues.
