@Jacob Hrip congrats on taking steps to hitting your investing goals!

I would do some market research on top-growing cities and determine which of those cities are within your price range and cashflow goals.

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

However, there may be a commonly expected way of handling it in your area.

Verify credit, employment, etc for you. 6) I would definitely want noise (quiet hours), guests, and treatment of common areas covered. 7) We've used Rent Manager as it focuses more on the financials which I think is super important.

Water issues are the most common. 

Let's see how it goes when the one year anniversary comes.But in general what you are seeing is very common.

Quote from @Noah Wright: Quote from @Drew Goodrow: This is good information, I also have a goal of doing my first flip in 2025.

Goal setting is not something you should wait until the end of each year to do, but if you have been busy and maybe haven't been able to get around to either brushing off your old goals, validating your existing goals, or creating your new goals, now is the time to do it for 2025. 

My only goal is to have all the details clearly spelled out so we can adjust price and deadlines in a fair manner as things come up.
