So for someone that is not familiar with Airbnb or short term rentals is a property manager with a super host status a good fit?

hi everyone, this is my first time posting to bigger pocketsi am an airline pilot in my mid 30s and looking to create a new life for my wife and myself and our baby on the way. i have dove deep on BP and been scouring the bookstore and the podcasts and learning as much as i can about investing in real estate. we currently live in a 1b/1ba home we own, and no longer owe any debt. i bought it for $120k in 2015 with 2br/1ba, met my wife the next year, she moved in and we gutted it and rehabbed it ourselves (aside from some structural flooring stuff and the final electric and water connections) and blew the tiny bathroom out into the adjacent bedroom, making the house a 1br/1ba. we did all the framing and flooring, paint and drywall and fixtures ourselves. we plan to add an additional bedroom or two, and possibly another bathroom, in the unfinished attic at some point. i was granted a HELOC for $120,000 with my local bank after it got reappraised a month ago at $163,000. i think we spent around $25,000 on the rehab so i'm feeling pretty darn happy about the situation. obviously the covid exodus from boston and new york have pumped real estate prices but we dont really plan on selling any time soon; but possibly renting it out if i get relocated for work.i am trying to find my first investment deal, and my wife and i have narrowed down our plan to aim for a rental with cosmetic rehab and solid tenant base. we thought about house hacking. i'm not sure of where i'll be sent next with work, but i will be sent somewhere else soon. our local market (vermont) is not very landlord friendly so we are looking at long distance, self-sufficient rental as our first investment. i am leaning toward student rentals, and after searching and comparing prices and stuff we have chosen to focus on a few different college town markets in the TN, KY, WV region. i have found a property i think might fit. its a triplex with three 1br/1ba units and off street parking, split utilities, w/d in each unit, located a half block from campus. it seems in decent shape, its been on the market over 200 days, and is listed at $190,000 in a market i believe i can ask at least $750 per unit for rent, which would bring my cash flow to near $1000/mo if i used the calculator correctly.what next??

I would say if they fit your investor avatar then go for it!

.  I found a property that fit all the criteria to be a great wholesale opportunity.

Trying to figure our your "value" is a really nebulous metric in my mind when its not a wage job or even if it were to fit into a nice job category. 

Another option if it fit your lifestyle would be to sell your house and make a larger than normal office/home as part of your self storage location. 

I would put it to you like this: Does it as a stand alone investment property(without your son needing a place to live) fit your criteria? 

Some of the most valuable advice I have ever received has been to, " take some time to figure out what investment strategy will fit you best, then niche down hard.

Most folks like Quickbooks but a PM software may also be a good fit for you - just make sure it's reasonably priced. 

If we attempt to comply we can only fit a total of 5 mobile homes with (70ft frontage) and the list goes on.
