But with mortgage rates the way they are and with inflation high do you guys think its a good time to buy?

Obviously you want to push rents as high as possible, but you've got to know how to stop before creating an artificial turnover.

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house. 

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

Those you could see yourself when you looked at the house . put on the 5 year list .The deck , without seeing pictures is hard to tell , could be age , could be poor design , may or may not be expensive All in all that report wouldnt scare me at all ,  Its an older house , it will be constant maintenance .

I would also say there are even fewer "high end" 4 unit places in the metroplex.

I highly recommend working with a real estate focused tax pro to explain your specific strategy, so you can be made aware of any pitfalls that could get you into trouble. 

The TI for fans and certification for pressure is quite high.

And has repairs listed at 16k-20k but from looking at the pictures provided I know it’s incorrect.

It seems like a hot market with high appreciation prospective with cash flow.
