There are always some self-righteous individuals who try to appear as very professional figures in this community. 

Here are the numbers:Purchase price: 300k @5.5% (might be able to negotiate new exterior paint job credit)Monthly costs: mortgage- 1703 tax-245 (2933/yr) insurance- 167Market rents are 1600$ easy for both sides as is but currently being rented at 1410 and 1325 tenets pay all utilities (separately metered)Planning on putting aside 20% of rents for Maint, vacancy, capex and will be self managing property.

So if you are going to be a host that outperforms your competitors and want to get fabulous reviews, there isn’t complete down time if you are self managing at the highest level.

I unfortunately self financed so my funds are tied up in this one house. 

I sourced the property off market and secured seller financing, and I also self manage it as an Airbnb host with nothing but 5 star reviews.

Like others in the post, interest income is portfolio income.What you can do is invest a self directed IRA/roth and put this money into notes.

It's to easy to dig a hole for your self on good intentions.

@Jaren Woeppel , after looking at the available local options, we continue to self-manage although we export a number of tasks, ie. answering the phone.

Do you self manage?

With management or attempting OOS self-managing?
