Whether or not you get the high end of that dollar amount, is based on the quality of what you are renting. 

Covering a significant portion of my mortgage has been a great reward.Solution: My four levels of vetting have helped me find quality room-renters over the last 18 months.I think you already have the answers to your situation.

These properties today can throw cash like crazy, but you'll be dealing with a certain kind of tenant and depending on your tenant screening could be looking at higher costs due to poorer tenants.

Buy solid properties in decent neighborhoods and screen your tenants well. 

I think Bigger Pockets can and should do more to help investors have "bigger pockets" by not only warning but screening guests.

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

@Reeves Bennett Focus on quality over quantity. 

Good question to ask when screening a PM is if they are real estate investors themselves.If you want a PM to be proactive or knowledgeable on where/when to add value (asset management assistance), find one that is an investor.

I agree different city if your talking school district quality that is a huge issue to me.

If you want to trade barbs on that, you are not even remotely comparable and it would be a Dave Chapelle quality joke to think so.
