Past success is a good indicator of future performance. understand the risk if the project takes longer or costs more.

I may look at out-of-state investing in the future, but I think good deals can be found locally (which I think you acknowledged). 

So, every non-government job your tenants have will vanish in the foreseeable future.

I am currently evaluating Batch Driven, and I will evaluate others in the near future.

Account Closed Hi Rhonda, If honest I spent about $8,000, some say its a lot, (my parents did) some say its small when compared to many programs out there, either way I took a leap of faith and saw the potential it had for my future.  

This will give you greater insight and what a property manager needs to do to efficiently manage your property once you are ready to hand the property over to a manager in the future.

Generally, lenders base their refinance valuations on the property’s in-place income and existing condition, not future projections.

Or should I just put them into stock market?

I think your future self will thank you for doing that.Perhaps take out an equity line of credit in case you need it and using a property manager.

For future reference, what @Charles Carillo said is very good advice.
