I've listened to a few podcasts and when I see people buying dozens of properties to cash out only $100-$300 per month out of each, I feel like it's not worth the hassle / risk because I can make that kind of money in two hours with my job as a consultant.So I'm more considering AirBnb rentals with 10+ % of cash-on-cash.

One beginner to another.I don't know much about this but maybe you can fight the assessed value.

Per my assessment, this is a C+ area that has B potential with the right development.The land is not listed online, I found it for sale by the owner.

After they move out, I would assess the damages then give back the remainder of the deposit (if there is any left).

This doesn't sound correct to me, but it would be nice to get in and assess the job earlier then when the deed is recorded into my name.

The ones who succeed are doing it ALL... tey're out there grinding in the real world, living under their means, or are on BP.com reading everything, learning by actually walking apartments and analyzing deals (not 2-5 or dozens of deals, but hundreds of deals)..You'll see them on here posting their dreams, goals and ideas of grandeur and they'll be gone after 2-4 weeks.  2-4 weeks of Real estate OBSESSION. 

So far I'm dozens of podcasts and several books deep and feeling confident I'll get the ball rolling on my own. 

We don’t have the data yet to confirm, but after listing a week ago, we have about a dozen bookings between now and the end of October. 

Some of the top consultants in roofing cause $400 per hour something that you can easily learn yourself and realize and assess the damage... 

@Brad Seidel, I see two other bigger risks:The HOA fees shoot up and/or there's a large special assessment.
