I understand why this is the case and truly respect those who spend the time and effort into calling, contacting, and convincing owners or already have strong broker relationships.

The best advice I can give you starting out is to stay out of consumer debt and save as much money as you can.

If you could renovate and split off an ADU or even apply to turn it into a duplex or triplex (although that will cost plenty of money with new kitchens, utilities, etc.) that could very well be worth it.

Private money funded the $90k down payment at 8% interest, no payments due on that until the balloon in 48-months.

A door lock doesn't function, four cracked windows, a broken door handle...those sound like issues the PM should have found during the inspection.When you get a lot of repair requests from a new tenant and they seem to be legit, I would recommend they spend a week or two getting settled, write down all the issues they come across, then send your contractor to handle everything at once.

Get to know them, buy them coffee and spend time with them.

Hello, thank you for your response. my main goal is financial freedom, I own a corporate training business and have been able to save money, but now I would like it to start working for me through smart investments.

Contacted the Housing Authority to confirm if I were to receive or deny money being that the security deposit was covered.7. agreed upon moving forward, May 14 an emergency happens & couldn't meet for the keyThe housing authority are very hard to contact for answers and the case worker for this case is on vacation this week.

It’s the business housed inside the building that makes the money.

I am confident in that market.I am okay with the challenge of it being harder to manage a few different units at the same time - and I would be on-site at least for a year.Investigating the market is simply a time and money aspect.
