I suggest finding a good insurance agent and a good attorney/CPA to help you get everything organized.

Unless there is an emergency situation, take a lot of photos and call your insurance agent before doing any repairs.

If the electronic lock fails, you provide the tenant with the code so they can access the key.

You could make this work ST, MT or LT, depending on how you approach it - the key with unique grounds is owner-provided upkeep and service built into the listing and what permits allow. 

You can look on Zillow at other houses for rent, you could also contact a RE agent and ask them for an opinion. 

While cash flow may be lower upfront, your income will grow over time, and the property’s appreciation will provide the equity needed to scale your portfolio faster.

While I don’t know their program or them, I’ve yet to see a mentorship program that cuts the time necessary to obtain the knowledge required; that has a monopoly on any tactic, strategy or technique that’s not common knowledge; and or that provides any ongoing “help” that’s anything but “basic”.If you’re not well versed in principles, finance, and law, either read books on these, attend college classes, or take a course(s) leading to real estate broker (salesman) licensure.  

That’s the magic of real estate compounding over time, and it’s stories like yours that really highlight this.. from what i read in the street journal, that slow build often outperforms shorter-term stategies.From an investor-friendly agent’s perspective, being willing to dig into the neighborhoods (driving for dollars) and having a robust network.. from probate attorneys to local contractors.. can pay off big.

I drop them and use a competent local RE agent, who did a great job.
