The biggest thing was to be exposed to a number of high intellect people in a learning-focused environment (and no crippling student debt for which I am very grateful). 

I'm too skeptical for some things thought.... 1st I have no numbers in my hands since the seller never involved in renting the apts , 2nd Do you think I'm exposed to a bigger risk since it is the beginning and I will not have a steady cash flow out of short-term renting? 

Increasing the prime adjustment five fold and "artificially" raising the rate (especially knowing that your intent is to grow the account by doing so) would likely expose you to some risk in the event of an audit.

So to sum it all up...I think what I've learned most or how becoming a landlord has most changed me is to appreciate how fortunate I am to have been raised and been exposed to the opportunities I have and that I was not born into generational poverty and a limiting mindset.

An exposed roof left like that can destroy a house in short time .

Sounds like in Hindsight she probably needed a structural engineer to inspect this prior to buying.. a full home inspection may have caught it but if the beams were not exposed they may have missed that as well.WE have at least in markets with very rigid inspections BEEN WHERE SHE IS .. 

Keep the doors locked, the property well lit and don't leave any valuables exposed.

I unfortunately was not afforded an opportunity at a younger age to be exposed to the power of passive income, passive income vehicles, compound interest, and a detailed planning for the future.

My instinct was to exclude those in my search as I think they would be less likely to rent (or to re-sell), but I'm aware it may just be exposing my lack of knowledge of other markets. 

List it with a local agent, Get It In The MLS....it will be exposed to the whole market, you’ll Net more money, and an agent knows the local process.
