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.

I am brand new to the whole idea of buying, selling, renting, flipping, and any other fun you can have with real estate to make some extra income on the side.  

We add this as an extra fee on top of our base price, so it wouldn't appear in this sheet (or it would appear under both expenses and income).3.
