Is there a recommended option for washer/dryer that doesn't require coins/bills but instead takes phone pay or a card, so that both tenants and prop managers don't have to deal with coins and bills?

It has not been well maintained over the last 19 years with a string of just bad renters and the person I had managing it just didn't do good quality repairs or work to it.

Hi Andrew - I use Reliant Energy (https://www.reliant.com) for the rental portfolio I own and the rentals I manage for others.You can ask Reliant for a month-to-month contract, instead of a 1 year contract. 

Also, you get a great app that they built to manage all of your deals.

-If you have 10k for a downpayment it's good that you are thinking about having reserves, but you also have to think about closing cost, if you are worried about not having tenants having a couple months' rent would be ideal-If you are new to real estate, start reading books, listening to podcasts, analyze deals, learn the tenant screening process, property management, see how you could mitigate the risk on the house hack, find an exit strategy, but most of all have patience.
