In the short term, I aim to replace my monthly income from my current entry-level job, I dont make a ton of money so this shouldn't be too difficult.

But wanted to add that you may want to consider a consultation with an attorney or even your liability insurance company to discuss best ways to handle this up front to avoid mis-steps in communication with the tenants, neighbors, media etc.

Welcome to BP.

We currently have one rental property that is fully paid off, generating $2,150 per month in income, with expenses around $1,000.

As soon as I got it, I reached out to the HOA management company with my deed and started paying my monthly assessments. 

We only found out that early in the lease because of several maintenance issues shortly after the tenant moved in and we have had to go back and forth with the owner for monies to pay certain invoices.

Never seen that question and never seen any way to find that out. 

New potential tenant put 09/01/2024 to 08/24/2025 for the asked lease dates. is it normal to have it shortened by a week for the last month?

(as long as you're in a market that doesn't require you to be licensed to act in that capacity).When it comes to profit margins, they can vary widely - which is why it's important to run your numbers before you take on a property.

Just wanted to let you know to be careful about planning for a midterm rental (1-6 month).
