I'm an at-home Mom who is turning her passion for fixing things into the  new career and the extra income and lunch money I need.  

Of course I own more than 1 property so an extra month or 2 without rent to find a tenant with verifiable income is just a small blip on my radar.I also use PM's for almost all of my properties and without verifiable income, application is rejected.  

Renting vs buying.....I was thinking of purchasing a home that I could do some extra work to and turn, no major over-haul, something simple....I have done this several times and have done well (just not in the Fort Worth area).

When I sold my home in another state, I wanted to stay an extra 7 days to close and coordinate with the movers and you’d think I asked for their first born.

However, is an extra 4% gain per year, on 150K (6K per year) really worth the loss of control?

I also set up a side room and did Air BnB to earn some extra money. 

I have a degree in construction management and want the extra cash to jump start my buy and hold portfolio.

Houses seem like a lot of trouble and risk for an extra 4k a year. 

It is just an extra cost.

Seems like a lot of work for only an extra $200 on a good day.
