Even "turn key" rent ready houses will have some expenses.

A lot of the STR management companies have contracts with companies to house their employees when they travel for extended periods of time.

So i am a 23 year old who has worked his butt off since 2020, i currently have 20k saved for a down payment and by the end of the year i hope to have a maxed out emergency fund maxed out and potentially 30k for my house fund.

All my houses currently have good tenants that pay on time.

Lessons learned: 1) Do a more thorough tour of house before purchasing 2) Have more money saved Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For my own house, I have the cabinets that came flat from China. 

I was researching a house I owned built in 1939 and it took me three visits before they found the file.

All houses were set to boom, but I'll need to check the records.

The main key to our success is proximity to several very large housing developments.

I started with an Airbnb, added several more, I am completing my second BRRRR and have successfully flipped 2 houses this year in Austin, TX where I live.
