Whatever your number, just make sure to play the game smartly and keep 3-6 months expenses (I prefer 6-12 months) for each individual home so that you can sleep well at night in the event that something happens.

If you are renting a out, these things eventually need fixed, so it is smart to have a reserve fund.Best-AJ

Honestly, probably wasn't a smart investment.

If you can get into something like a value-ad duplex in Longmont or a 3-5 bed SFH in Gunbarrel/Martin Acres/Longmont/Lafayette for example and rent rooms to friends, I'd say you're making a very smart move.

You would be smart to not put an extra dime into this property, leave the tennats to pay the mortgage and sell in a few years before the expences begin to roll in.  

It all started when I read "Hold: How to Find, Buy, and Rent Houses for Wealth" and that really kind of sold me on how cool smart investing can be.

Within 24 hours I booked the 2 rooms for April at prices higher than anticipated (smart pricing feature).Anyone out there rent bedrooms for 30+ days on AirBnB?

With Ring door bells, an exterior camera and smart locks on both units we can watch and ensure the exteriors are cared for.

@Maureen Nixon  Buying cheap doesnt mean you are buying smart .  

I will plan to do just 1 type from bathroom to kitchen and all other rooms (in preparation for my mom's future wheelchair usages).
