This can add to your expenses, but can also help streamline the management process and increase the overall value of the property.Additionally, larger apartment buildings may come with more regulatory requirements and tenant issues to navigate.

If you wish to get licensed in every state to act as a lender, go ahead but the cost to do that is extraordinary so you would need to spend money on that and getting proper insurance since you are essentially issuing a mortgage. 

With 5-10% down or an FHA 203k loan, you will still run into the issue of not adding enough equity to do a cash-out.

I’ve had numerous issues with Airbnb first as a property owner/provider and later as a tenant.  

I put the address info into clovered and it's coming up about 100k more than the value so was just wondering what all you pros do with insurance. 

I can’t tell you the exact price per sf, but generally, I’d pay about 10-20k for just drywall, carpet, doors etc in an unfinished basement, if you have any minor  foundation issues/leak that’s probably another 5-10k adding a bathroom is probably in the 8-10k range maybe a little more if you have no drain stack in the basement, digging down can easily be 50-100k 

Do realize that property managers must have separate financial licenses and bonding in almost every state and being a Realtor who does “property management” provides zero protections for you. 6, Do realize that living in one state and renting in another can under certain circumstances require you to answer litigation and issues brought in Federal Court and all of the end user agreements with every online service or local Realtor property management contracts will leave you alone and swinging in the wind. 7.
