@Maurice George I was looking at Enid due to the Air Force base and flight school being located there.  

However, it may be better to partner with or hire someone that compliments you, rather than trying to change who you are.If you are committed to change, then sign up for the Dale Carnegie Training program.

It will take you 270 (75% occupancy) nights of air bnb to break even on piti alone before expenses of rental. 

Always get a W9 from whomever you hire• Make sure you have them sign lien waivers before you give final payment• Check your city's court documents(public info and usually online) to ensure they don't have any judgements against them• Do not pay 50% up front.

My current home was a foreclosure, but luckily my Dad and I were able to do all the repairs ourselves for the most part so the repair cost was very little considering what it would have been to hire it all out. 5 years later I have about 250K equity.

If so I would heavily take all the dollars you allocated to setting up your entity and structures etc and hire a coach or join a program.

I just added his company to the list of property managers I will never hire in the area.

He has agreed to do the day-to-day management of the property (long term, as I accumulate more assets, I would consider hiring a property management firm).Looking to get some advice/call out any pitfalls in my assumptions:Focus on low cost, 55+ communities in Boca Raton/Delray Beach Area (Century Village, Kings Point etc.)Setup an LLC with my dad and myself listed (otherwise, my options to purchase in 55+ communities would be limited)Properties must have a net operating income of $1,000/month or more, expected rent $1,600-$2,000HOA: $450-$550, Insurance: $50-100, Taxes: $50, Maintenance: TBDInitially pay for all assets in cash, no debt. ($40k-$100k purchase price)For the first investment only look for minor cosmetic upgrades.

I knew somebody had already attended to it because there was a huge dehumidifier and an air blower plugged in that did not belong to me.

IF so take an air compressor and blow the line out.
