The name of the game is collect monthly premiums and payout as little as possible.

I'm new to the real estate game and wanted to try out the Omaha area since I'm stationed at Offutt AFB.

it's a volume game. 

I've spent a lot of time looking at what resources are out there any honestly, my favorite is Pricelabs.  

@Andrew ReedOne of my favorite quotes is "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not to their own facts".

Probably not much better time to try out the rental game and if it doesn’t work well, or we don’t like it we can still sell and keep the capital gains exemption.

Cash to invest (enough for deposits, skin in the game lenders want you to have, closing costs, carrying costs, and to kick off rehab work).2.) 

The marketing isnt that important in my opinion but the professional photo/ video is a huge game changer and I dont believe that someone is going to make much profit at .5% on the listing side.

This is why you need to do a ton of due diligence on them and make sure they have skin and the game and something to lose.
