So far, my dealings with the HA have been far from smooth.

.- Landlording/owning the property is mostly smooth-sailing, but at occasional times can be aggravating, time-consuming, or stressful.If I sell this house, I would not immediately buy another property.

I'm looking for multiple recommendations so please fire them off at me.The loan product I'm looking for is the first time home buyer firsthomes100+, 100% financing program in RI: https://loans.rihousing.com/Homes_needing_repairs/But I want a lender who is experienced with the process and has contractors so that it can go smoothly.

Since it was my second property with them and my first property went smoothly I felt comfortable going into one of their other markets.

These always end up being smooth transactions.  

After that it's smooth sailing, nothing to be nervous about.You got this!

I figure that as long as I'm conservative with the expense ratios (I use 55%) and have around 300 left over, I can cover capex items when smoothed out over time and multiple properties.

Overall, the process has been relatively smooth so far (knock on wood).

I will happily go away once things are actually running smoothly.

Nice to have a change and I hope the roll out is smooth.
