This was my first time managing a rental so I had the opportunity to learn tools such as Stessa, Rent Redi, Short Term Rental Management and Mid-Term Rental management.

Kept getting frustrated things were not moving quickly enough and went back to corporate jobs.

For rentals, aA better thing would be to look at population and job growth in the market.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

It's a great jobs program for attorneys, accountants, and QIs like us.  

The property was bought and renovated with cash, so there are no financing costs—just the opportunity cost of the investment.Comparatively, I’m currently earning 5% in a money market account and 10% from participating in hard money loans.

I wanted to take on another house hack and needed to relocate for my job.

We live in New York and there are really no good opportunities for rental properties.
