The government (so far) will not force you to live with people you don't get along with.Likewise, you don't have to subject yourself to the health risks.

I don't live in the US and I don't have another income in the US (such as employment or earned income), but I have a property that was rented starting in September 2023.

Finding someone that is trustworthy that will do all of that while you are living out of area, and providing money and the lot has value.

Congratulations @Megha Agarwal we have 2 STR’s in Lake Harmony as well and live about 2hr’s away.  

I have been successfully renting out 3 rooms in my single family home while living in the unfinished basement for a little over two years now.

At some point, you may decide to pay off properties so you are 100% cash flow and living off the income.

My goal would be to live in the condo or coop for a year or two and then rent it out!

I understand that I should have a separate bank account from my personal checking/savings, but based on my research, this first deal won't necessarily provide cashflow with me living in one of the units (it will when I move out).

They live on the first floor of a small ten-unit building. 

Since I live here and am within 15-20 minutes to all my properties I chose to self-manage.
