Other option, you can  purchase a duplex with fha to live in one and rent the other.btw...you will qualify for a higher loan purchasing a 2 unit property since the lender will use rent from the second unit towards your income.Be sure to calculate you numbers based on you not living in the property to make sure it is a viable long term hold. 

I use Buildium, its very user friendly and has everything I need from advertising syndication, accounting, tenant portal with pay online, tenant screening and remote signing.

What I see a lot of today is the SFH that has been renovated get rent out, but Im not sure of the rents that they command.

They have an online version and it also comes with a mobile version through their app, I’ve seen some peers use different companies and aceable is much more user friendly IMO.

Lenders use rates to slow their pipeline, so you may need to find someone who has space right now to do your loan. 

Not sure, but either way I don't feel comfortable with how they operate and don't plan to do business with them at least until I speak with some actual users of them that have had a good experience.

@Simon ObasPrice commands due diligence. 

I don't think there is any commandment about installing shelving ;)For small upgrades low cost stuff like that, I'd usually tell them I can "probably" do it but it will have to be when my guy is out anyway and has time...if they want it in a hurry the cost will be $xxx.

I agree that detailed analysis is very important as there are numerous factors (such as local demand, the cost of county approval, land prep, gravel cost, labor, etc.) to consider in determining if the ROI is ultimately worth it - especially since in our market, RV/boat spots command lower rent/square foot than a storage unit.  

The functionality placement of the inputs is not user friendly.
