@Scott Somerled -Thank you for the questions, and of course, we would gladly spend the appropriate time to answer any others you have have over email or phone, if you would like.

I would also recommend getting the section 8 bible (great for landlords state of mind), and spending time in the diy forum (they need videos!).

Here is what I have.4 br 2.5 ba town home built in 2001Currently owe $215K - recently appraised at $270KTotal monthly payment (mort, tax, hoa, ins) $1450Comp rentals in area show - $1700-1850Here is where I am confused - I don’t need to spend much to get the home rent ready (>2000 at most).

That's encouraging to hear you only spend 5 hours a month on 5 units.

Then when I asked for help, I needed to prove myself first by spending some more money for education/products.The information provided was engaging and exciting.

We live in Pennsylvania, but spend a few weeks each year in Maine/NH, usually traveling back and forth between No Conway and Portland.
