I am not sure what type of real estate investing you're considering, but it sounds like, with your family and busy job, you won't have a lot of time to be hands-on or personally involved. 

If they are changing jobs, they need the new job first and you need to paychecks or offer letter with salary or maybe even the first two paychecks at the new job, depending on their level and income.Ask them about deposit and rent. 

Markets, geoglobal conflicts, recession, inflation, jobs can all affect that but time will tell. 

Hi Paola,If you are looking to buy another primary, looking to put the property into a LLC, may be changes in your income/job, looking for faster/smoother closing, DSCR could make more sense.

Property is in Granite City, tenant lost his job, and has stopped responding to texts and emails. 

I think I can do a good enough job of listing it. 

It doesn't sound like that has happened here because you keep saying you want to transfer it etc...essentially you want to give them the property, because right now today they do not own it and have not completed AP...you're doing their job for them. 

My first PMS was Guesty which did a great job with automations IMO. 

It is unlikely that one person will be able to do a good job in every aspect.

This would be a tedious task to do on a daily basis.
