I did have one issue that was disappointing that consumed a lot of time: After sending an invite to an applicant for background screening, the applicant somehow was able to register as a landlord; that was discovered by the RentPrep team after a considerable amount of time and delay.

It's going to be harder than you expect, more time consuming, and will feel like you are spinning your wheels for a while.

But I try to consume every educational source I can on this because I have to learn somehow, I gotta make this work.

Given how many gurus are marketing and pushing consumers to get into Airbnb arbitrage it has created a massive amount of saturation across many markets.

Monetary inflation:The Federal Reserve (Fed) can increase the money supply by changing the target fed funds rate, buying Treasury securities or MBS (Mtg backed securities) to lower rates. increasing the money supply, which banks can then lend to consumers and businesses.Debt monetization.

Given that I now have added risk of having the tenant forever, my screening requirements got tighter (less people will qualify) and my rent at every unit goes up to compensate for the added risk.

What will it cost to furnish the unit and keep it stocked with consumables?

Real estate consumers in our area are fortunate to have access to a large pool of talented and knowledgeable professionals who are backed by a strong association. 

The possibility exists (only hindsight will let us know for sure) that now is NOT the opportune time to purchase SFR as investment property, UNLESS the plan is to hold FOREVER, or at least 10+ years.

This definition eludes to "banks" using this between themselves versus a consumer being able to get these rates."
