Over time, I discovered mistake #2 was not buying them right.

I have three vacancies in a C class neighborhood and the only people I’ll rent to now are Section 8 with a small tenant portion.  

No system is perfect, so don't waste your time chasing after the next shiny object.

I'm curious how you would handle managing when working a full-time job in the military.

I got started with BP as well and quit my job in 2024. 

- Yes, it does take more time to schedule this:(--- Our FieldTechs do have sets of locks our locksmith has pre-keyed, so we can "rekey" a property faster.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

If you wanted to earn $200k to live on at a W2 job....you'd need to earn significantly more because you'd have to pay income taxes, and payroll taxes on the income; where as taking on debt isn't taxable at all. 

I do not think anyone in Cleveland will do a good job.
