I believe with a hospital partnership that I can offer this house to their employees for 5k a month and basically play hotel or property manager and get the entire house fully furnished and they would hopefully agree to a down payment first of 30k to me and a year to year contract.

I will re-enter the workforce in 3 months when we are done with her assignment, bringing our w2 income to the 80K-100K level.We own an "accidental rental", free and clear, out of state, that grosses about 11000/yr less PM (1000/yr) and HOA (4600/yr)..it's a condo so that is why the HOA is so hight.

Turn your back and it could easily go to h*ll.You must manage your properties or manage your employees.

I still love helping people, but I'm more into WORKING AS MY OWN BOSS, Having my own employees that I can TRAIN and TREAT WELL.

He is charging 6 % of gross rent for managing the property.Upon reviewing the current P & L statement, I saw a fee call "residual fee", I have never heard that term before. 

Your dog walking employees could be your RE employees "walking" for dollars and canvassing. 

Below i have laid out the ones i can think of and how i am planning on mitigating them.Up-Keep Only use vetted turnkey companies that do solid rehabsSave 5% gross rents for maintenanceSave for capex even tho so many companies tell you it’s not necessary (WHY?!

There some different costs with the hotel including employees and then seasonal business although I'm not sure if that applies to extended stay in your market.  

They are too high because my husband grosses more so they feel i should pay more even though a large portion goes to alimony and child support.  

you need  30k gross to have 15k net(including management) and still kinda crappy investment wise unless you are SURE it will appreciate. 350k x 4.4% = 15k.No apartment buildings available?
