The other economic factors have a lot to say about the medium-term change in rents (population, wages, unemployment, etc).You are correct though, it would not need to be done as the conclusions are obvious in hindsight. 

Haven't had a lot to post.

@Caroline GerardoThat's a lot to think about.

There's a lot to take in when getting started!

But if you intend to scale up to dozens (or hundreds) of units in the future, there is a lot to be said for starting off with the right software.

The battery one will be replaced, but I am guessing at my cost as I can not prove they did it intentionally, even though they definitely did smoke in the property, and a lot to use up a ten year battery in 5 months.I kind of feel like way back when I was a teen, decades ago, the insurance company would give you $100 to $300 if someone else damaged your vehicle with a big scratch, because it was not worth fixing, there was a consequence, but maybe not now for rentals that get these types of damages.Usually I just do not go after these type of damages, but for these people I will. 

It is impossible to have someone else invest your money in real estate and $25,000 is a lot to lose, regardless of whether or not you say you don't care and making that statements says a lot since every dollar counts and if you lose that money and save another $25,000 then $50,000 can get you into some type of property you can own and have 100% control of.Don't be pumped up and anxious to jump in, have to cross your fingers and pray that the person you gave your money too will do a good job.

whew that 's a lot to digest right there.

So I get that the FHA loan allows for a lower down payment but if you don’t have a lot to put down, how can you afford the higher monthly payment?  

I encourage you to really look at your market rent to see if it was accurate because that is a lot to increase in just 3 years.
