With fluctuating interest rates, tighter lending criteria, and increased competition for properties, securing the right financing has become a key factor in closing deals and maximizing ROI.Are you exploring creative options like BRRRR, partnerships, or seller financing?

Like everything else... if the numbers work and all the other factors at play are good in your opinion.... go for it! 

Most of our receipts are digital (email) so we just put it in drive and attach it to Baselane transactions as we go (weekly).

There’s also a scorecard that gets released based upon many factors.  

Stay away from Philly as their laws are as tricky as NYC's.I would strongly recommend you purchase something within an hours drive from you so you can learn on the job as a landlord. 

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

First house in 2021 - no internet to search at that time, remember going to realtor offices and seeing magazines and talking on phone with them about properties available and driving by them as there was no google street view.

Sometimes, I see investors lean into property managers who know the landscape and can “drive for dollars” around the block.

@Annie AnsonWorking with a Property Manager:  If you hire a property manager for on-the-ground tasks like maintenance, you can still meet material participation—if you handle the majority of the work that drives the property’s success (e.g., guest services, pricing strategy, advertising).
