(Most likely considering adding a 7 year ballon.)Do you suggest letting a loan servicing company handle payment collection/escrow/insurance or are you all handling those pieces?

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

Some services will allow you to create a virtual business address in the states that require this.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).
