The few I have talked to in the Stuttgart, AK area have either had extremally poor customer service or just been unresponsive.

Purchase price: $50,000 Sale price: $75,000 This home was in extremely rough shape and needed a full remodel.

When the moratorium was lifted, my nonpaying tenants vanished before I could take action to participate in the extremely slowly rolled out Emergency Rental Reimbursement Program.

The tenant in the middle complained about the previous tenant and the one below them for being "too loud". 

Not saying it can't be done but that's extremely low.

I haven’t seen many ppl who are not extremely design interested/motivated get white “right” in a way most others appreciate it.

Or your can BRRRR a property that would be good for a house hack as well, and move into the house hacked BRRRR after its rehabbed.Just thinking out loud as there are lots of options, best of luck to whatever you decide!

Real estate has so many tax benefits and credits available, that I always tell people it's crucial to have a CPA that's extremely knowledgeable in this area. 

It mostly becomes an issue when you have tenants that are loud and the neighbors call the police.

Excel will have the most flexibility and is extremely powerful.
