The key is start ASAP.   

Someone with one newer aged rental, who has a rather high income, such as a surgeon who lives alone comfortably with a lot of disposable income, could possibly carry less than a Mr and Mrs just starting out, with one rental that they bought as a turnkey in a more downtrodden neighborhood in a different state.

Many owners use it as a resource once they start their search and come across the NARPM website.

Listed our first STR property last month and started using Guesty for Hosts as my management software to consolidate across platforms.

If your why on investing in real estate is to make extra money, that's a start, but it's not the real why.

I ended up non renewing (another reason why "Good Cause" is BAD)  at which point she became belligerent and overstayed her welcome, practically daring me to evict her, which I did start eviction proceedings.   

Currently i am remodeling my investing propery to hold and rent, I am planing to start with BRRRR method. 

I'd start by having a realtor walk through it with you and determine how much things would cost to do and what it would add to the value of the home.
