Hope to gain insight on how to become an Active investor. 

The problems I see are:Rent is a low percentage of the house value, so not optimal use of this equity/capital.Property taxes are high due to the higher house valueMy costs would be a baseline of $2700+800 = $3500 plus maintenance, unoccupancy, etc. so basically breaking even cash flow for 12 yearsIf/when we sell it, we'll owe capital gains tax since we wouldn't have a "new" house to 1031 into.

I'm eager to learn from the experienced members of this community and also to share my own insights and experiences with others.I'm particularly interested in connecting with other real estate professionals in the area and expanding my network.

Thanks for any insight you can give!

I'd be happy to receive additional insights and ideas how to ensure appropriate screening of tenants so I avoid "bad apples" - I know there's nothing foolproof, but I will be glad that I tried to avoid some of the landlord issues. :)

Take a look at AirDNA, the enemy method, STR Insights to get a better idea.

I would double check on AirDNA, rabbu, bnbcalc or STR Insights to make sure you can perform well there.you can still do well in a tough market or underperform in a strong one so definitely be picky about what you purchase and do some good analysis first.
