By securing long-term tenants and maintaining the property’s condition, I’ve enjoyed consistent rental income and significant appreciation in property value.

Consider FHA loans for lower down payments, but remember, the key is to find properties where the rental income covers your mortgage and expenses, ensuring positive cash flow (although in Austin is will be hard, but not impossible, to accomplish)Aiming for five properties in five years is very ambitious but achievable with the right strategy.

It can produce a great income, but it's a job and doesn't build real wealth.

We are looking to produce an income and value over time.

We are currently between two cities, with Michigan City being one of them and love to learn more about the area from an experience agent.Thank you in advance for your help! 

Currently the rental income im getting is covering 30% of the monthly motgage payment so i was wondering is that was a good ratio to justify the house hack.

Hello BP community,I'm interested to learn what most investors do with the portion of rental income commonly set aside for cap ex, repair, and vacancy costs.

@Neal PatelRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder, etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I am looking to sign up for services from Anderson Business Advisors and I’m looking for some feedback from any of you who have used or currently use them.

If they see you have disposable income, they will come at you hard to invest more money into their training and software programs.
