@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

It wouldn't hurt to set up time to meet with agents, property managers, lenders, and others while you’re visiting your markets of interst.

The cost is really expensive for QBO.

HelloOver saturated STR in Ohio markets have caused many STR to drastically lower costs to as low as  $100 for entire bedroom home.My are higher and I'm not competitive with the lower cost Abnbs.I also feel hotel industry are mass building new hotels to compete with str. 

This puts the home underwater.I've calculated the following two options: To sell the house, it would cost me about $60,000out of pocket.

Tenant stopped paying rent before 2 months of the lease expiring, property manager filed for eviction process but tenant vacated the property before sheriff served the notice.

For your first BRRRR, plan for extra in your rehab budget—unexpected costs happen.

The same is true with property management.

A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.

I worked exclusively in STVR property management on the island and currently work in long-term property management servicing the West Metro (Minneapolis).
