I have a primary I have always planned to rent when I leveled up.

Then down the road 12 months or more you can refinance pull some cash out and buy another property.Atlants & Oklahoma City are both great locations just do your home work on the neighborhood for home appreciation and rents. 

I’ve got a handful of residential rental units, but for the first time I have a detached 2 car garage to rent out.

There are way to many PM's not getting properties rented and they are staying vacant, there is also way to many rentals being rented less than market rent to get a "quick tenant" causing investors to lose money, you will also need that PM to be completely productive and quick to the applicants and also not trying to incentivize off of your property needing repairs.

You may have a flat $xx dollar amount added to the rent monthly (specified in your lease) for utility bill back. 

I have rented to section 8 for years without any issues.

Hello,  I currently travel for work and rent out 3 of my 4 rooms while I'm away. 

The benefits to using available cash to fund multiples investments as opposed to paying all cash for one investment seem pretty self explanatory, but the largest benefits...especially in real estate...are likely the ability the spread risk across multiple investments and the ability to make multiple investments in a shorter period of time, allowing your cash flow, equity, and ultimately potentially your net worth to increase at a faster pace.To answer your question about traditional financing directly, yes you can obtain a traditional mortgage and put a large cash down payment down, essentially financing 'part' of the purchase price.

I would also explore the different rental strategies- long-term, medium-term, short-term, or rent-by-the-room.

I was hoping to get some clarity on the rent collection functionality of the stessa/rentredi platform, versus hiring a property management company.
