In my experience, tenants that remain in place for 5+ years are almost always behind market rates.

From my experience, security has been good, there’s plenty of space around the pools and clubhouse area too, so it’s never loud or crowded, and the HOA appears to also cater to a broader more modern and contemporary audience, to include its Canadian, Brazilian and European guests and investors.

I wish I had the experience to use your strategy.

@Abrahm Dimmitt we found Deal Machine had a better user experience while driving.

If that's my experience in a small town, I suspect it's probably everywhere.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Anyone have any experience in this area?

But in my experience, you would be better off spending that same amount of time/hustle working a second part-time job with guaranteed income, then investing in buy-and-hold properties.

@Colin Ford recommend getting experience with your RI duplex before going OOS.You should DIY manage the unit next door, so you LEARN about property management, the goog, the bad and the ugly.Then you'll be so much better prepared to invest OOS!
