2) If the tenant doesn't renew their lease, we have decent idea of the property condition, so we know if we can show it and the scale of RentReady repairs that will be needed.We share the Evaluation with the owner, so they can give input on the renewal and understand why we can or cannot do showings the last 30-days of the lease.We think this is a pretty logical approach.What would you do to improve it?

You can watch videos on any software, but that's not as nice as getting in and clicking around yourself.Way more people are way more knowledgeable than me, but it's my opinion that a newbie or just a small scale investor only needs something stupid simple.

Open to any strategies that come to mind Goals:Short-term: Get “skin in the game” with my first property, ideally a duplex/small multifamily or a starter SFH rental.Long-term: Scale to 5–10 properties by my late 20s, eventually replacing part of my income and continuing to invest.Open to BRRRR, house hacking, or just buying a solid rental depending on what makes sense.Questions:At my age, should I prioritize house hacking, or since I live at home, should I just buy a pure rental?
