I am also a newbie but here are my two cents:1. i agree house prices are inflated but dont wait for interest rates to come down. if they do come down, there will be competition.2. go for your investment property asap but dont buy it by all cash. go for mortgage instead. when interest rates come down you can refinance.am late to the game and realized only few months ago that parking money in the bank is not a wise decision.

Information about the renovation process?

Only they never inform the “borrower” of any of this.

After doing so, I decided not to invest, one of the easiest decisions of my investing life.

If you are buying a second mortgage, you can pay the first but that would not be a wise decision at all.

Connecting with local experts like real estate agents, contractors, property managers, and investors can give you valuable information and support.

I stated online rent payments with Cozy.Co the day I closed on my first duplex, best decision ever.

I'll send you her contact information! 

Your information put a lot of clarity!

I also agree with several others comments to send violation notices in writing (this can be informal means or on the 3 day itself) If you list on the 3 day, it still needs to be clear that the notice to vacate is still for nonpayment of rent.
