Only somewhat true for buy and hold, but don't really pay attention and soon you have more wealth than you know.

A property manager brought it to my attention, and I looked further into it.

And to get their attention, you need a long track record and infrastructure, as well as the right deal(s).

They are covering cost of insurance, taxes, utilities and all medical expenses which are rapidly draining their available funds.

Just wanted to call attention to one thing:You mentioned, 'I make around $80k per year' and 'Looking to save for a year or two.

Were issues with any of these items brought to your attention before the tenants put in maintenance requests?

During Covid I worked for a Medical Travel company so i would highly suggest with your knowledge to use that in your benefit.

The medical traveler wants to work at the local hospital.

Attention: Beware of Non-Bank Fintech AppsI hope this message finds you well.

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.
