Have to add the unexpected repairs such as clogged drain, leaky faucet, oven element not working, etc.

I drive a 2003 Honda Element.

You can look for personal investors, then micro loans of credit and numerous others. 

I have run into this enough that my lawyer added language in my lease under the maintenance and repair rules paragraph that states the tenant must “deposit all trash, garbage, rubbish or refuse in locations provided therefor and shall not allow trash”… “to stand on the exterior of any building or within the common elements.”

There are numerous property managers who specialize in some, but not all parts of Orlando. 

You may get the necessary information, and it may be enough, but you should always be aware that you will have an element of uncertainty and plan accordingly.

The Statute of Frauds states that among other types of contracts, those involving real estate must be in writing. https://corporatefinanceinstit...There are 3 basic elements required to form a contract - offer, acceptance and consideration (something of value changes hands). 

There are numerous training and mentoring programs out there.

Just remember that the primary objective in a rental ,or a home in general, is to protect its occupants from the elements.

This is my first unit and I am trying to scale as quickly as I can so every $50/month helps, but spending too much cash to renovate elements that won't return will really set me back as well.
