Also great to earn while you learn instead of waiting.

They charge you an annual rate and then the out of pocket costs for extras like freon tend to make the repair costs as much as it would cost to hire your own person.

It was quite the challenge, and involved a lot of extra management time.On anything I do that is outside of affordable housing, part of my screening process for new tenants is that they have to apply online.

Mostly referring to earned income at this point, but could include other sources.

So if I am reading correct they will also manage the property but it seems that's not included with the HOA fee, it'd just be an extra cost.Knowing all this I'd definitely say this property won't cashflow.

I know this is a real estate forum but there are other ways to earn more besides real estate.
