@Theresa HarrisI think it's a combination of homestead exemption going away, a shortage in funds in escrow, and also the fact that my homeowners insurance went up after I turned it into an investment property.

I use a combination of Excel like others and innago.com to manage the rent payments, tenant aspects of the rental... 

Some require money, some require personal effort, and pretty much they all require some combination of both. 

This can be done, but it's rarely done well at first.Good luck and fortune to you!

Just happened to see this article shared on Linkedin from CoStar.https://www.costar.com/article/1642374620/rare-metal-apartments-hit-the-market-in-nashville-tennessee

I scoured the whole country and found a commercial building with an additional house on the same lot for 110k in Daytona Beach.Total building size combined is 3000 sq ft.

I keep mine the same as well and have only changed on the rare occasion something weird happens and I feel it’s necessary.

If you think it means they won't even counter, then offer 500 and go from there.It is not complicated and rarely will you be able to undo any hard feelings so just go with your plan.

(caveat: I really liked @Andrea Cole's email response a 1000 times better but we are taking a BIG hit financially and I rarely have the kind of visitors who could take advantage of a future reservation.)My response:I read the same article.

Rarely do beginner, out of state investors, understand the risks.
