this is a tough one...

Its tough to find a property management company that will manage homes that bring in less then 1000 a month.

I have connections to other oil and gas workers that will pay higher than average rents, which is cheaper than staying in hotels, I would just have to fully furnish the place and have flexible leases.

Those are the big financial risks in early 1900s homes, and if they've been addressed, they can make for nice houses to add to your portfolio.A good, investor-friendly agent will know how to evaluate those homes and give you good buying advice.As for locations, the Midwest still has plenty of 3/2 houses that list under 200k, but they are getting tough to find in ideal neighborhoods.

Ask social workers/homeless out reach to come check on him.3. 

If you want to bump those rents up, you can try a furnished medium-term rental, but depending on the specific area, that might be tougher only because traveling nurses and remote workers tend to want to stay in areas that are a little further along. 

But the reason that this process is difficult is that the company is dissolving upon disposition.As far as Units owned it’s a tough metric to measure in case of talk above.  

That's a tough one when you're in an expensive market starting out. 

@Dan V. it applies to all the homes in your park, in Virginia it can be tough dealing with the govt and handling tenants since being a tenant makes you a victim and the courts are in the tenants favor, good luck

So definitely be picky- as long as it's reasonable.I recommend: credit check, addresses and employer for last 5 years & reason for moving, non-family personal referral, current employer contact (call them- and be very brief and transparent- 2 questions: How long working there, and are they a good worker?
