We checked out some higher end condos right on the beach but it never went anywhere.

@Jack Deer the broker probably has a minimum dollar amount to list/sell, accounting for high %, especially if that is covering the buyer’s agent side too.

Most will tell you to replace all to cash the big check.

I checked with my realtor, who also checked with her broker and they felt that the personal contents transfer to the new owner of the property at settlement.I realize that I'm standing my ground over a $200 lawn mower, but feel like if they were given the items, they should've been removed in the months prior to the owner I purchased the property from listed it for sale and also settlement. 

Do you have multiple Stripe accounts for each of your owners?

@Todd Knudson high yield savings account.

How much do you deposit into one bank account past 18 months = income - 15%

I invest in Memphis, TN, and I've checked several of the sites (Hubzu, Williams, Realty.com, etc).Is there a site that you'd recommend using?

Where I lack understanding is at what point do you start making money for example you buy a duplex lets say it was 300k the monthly mortgage is 2,500 each renter pays 1,500 thatd 500 cash flow which is I guess “profit “ but as the landlord you're responsible for major repairs such as but not limited to roofs, plumbing issues, electrical issues that all can be expensive you would have to have money saved so that 500 cash flow is profit but wouldnt it just have to sit in a bank account? 

If so, you could rent it to the neighbour's family, but check their references and get them to co-sign the lease.
