But since we put plans in place for maintenance reserves, we have those funds set aside and while still painful, at least it is not financially impossible for me to cover something like that.  

I am fine with this when it comes to learning, but when it comes to placing capital, I disagree.  

I wanted to share my to do list in case anyone here with more wisdom than I can help me spot any gaps or things I may not be thinking of from a lack of experience and/or share pointers! 

Hello,I hear a lot of "legally valid" reasons one can ask/force a tenant to leave your rental in the county of Riverside, CA ( for example: "you don't need a reason, just give 60-day notice," "if you're having major construction done to the place like foundation issues," etc).

I been making calls to houses thats been on the market for 60days or more but nothing is working. is there anyone that is currently doing STR in the FL market that can give some tip where would be a good place to start and what I should expect. 

In most places a mortgage is going to be less than rent-otherwise landlords would lose money.

I appreciate your reply on my post and your offer to connect further.Thank you for sharing your concerns about paying in cash and depreciation; those are definitely something on our radar.

Is pasadena tx a good place to own rentals for the long term?

I really like the fact that Longhorn will fund up to 100% of purchase and rehab costs (up to 75% ARV), that’s why I was going with them in the first place.

Just make sure to build a solid team with a great realtor, tax pros, and all the right resources.Having started in Columbus and grown up in Cleveland, I can say Ohio is a great place you should consider.
