I'm assuming PM collect the payments, manages the lease, track tenant activities etc.  

Hi,I am doing a lot of analysis of SBR opportunities in a few different places and talking to a lot of folks (i.e. agents and property managers). 

I follow some real estate investors and want to put some of the strategies I learned into play.A little bit about me: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to study electrical engineering and always tried to learn how to better manage my personal finances.

Material participation might involve managing properties, handling leases, or overseeing maintenance—activities that are more hands-on than those of a typical passive investor.I recommend doing some tax planning and see what options you have .

I was hopeful that I would be able to extend my holding to another city without concern over management.

I don't manage any apartments any more so just 1 & 2 for me.

Admittedly, finding direct comparables has been challenging due to the unique nature of our family's home, but these figures give us a good starting point.I've taken the proactive step of having a property manager conduct an inspection, and preliminary feedback suggests that the renovations required might be relatively minor, pending the final review from the contractor.

The Midwest markets offer a lower barrier to entry as they provide lower home prices and taxes, a lot of these markets are landlord friendly as well.

My wife and I both work full time and as of last month I’m managing my own properties.

The company we use for credit/background checks will not allow our company to share that information with anyone else, not even the property owner (when we are acting as the property manager).
