I STILL live at home and my parents are urging me to get out of the house but I don’t want to make a big financial mistake and purchase something out of emotion.

Since I am doing the work, I have no quality issues and believe in doing the job right.

I used to use Cozy.co as a payment and issue reporting portal for my tenants, but I didn’t like what apartments.com did with it when they bought them out.Before I had my real estate license, I’d only post my rentals to Zillow.  

Does that really help with my 2 main issues?

Doing so will help mitigate the risk of getting into a property without knowing all of the issues, good and bad, about the property.

I travel the country for work so it’s not too much of an issue

It also had water drainage issues and no landscaping.

I think if you search student rentals many issues cross state lines.

It was already under contract but I kept on good terms with the listing agent and when they had issues with the buyers I got to come in and take over How did you finance this deal?
