We started the journey last year Sept 2023.The deal closed mid November, after a 2 months journey to find the perfect property (price/Cash Flow/appreciate) and closed on it.Made her aware the holidays isn't the time for renters to move, however, once W2 taxes were issued in January 2024 she would get a tenant.She is officially a landlord!

The big issue for me is how I’ll schedule showings if I’m not home for a week or two at a time?

They typically have a past due balance from a mortgage that has not been paid for several months or other issues that take money to clean up. 

Bryce Muller posted a link to a site he made that addresses some of those issues at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/921/topics/1174578-migr...

If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.If you find a good team in Columbus, Ohio this should not be an issue

Also $150/months is $1800 a year, so it would take over a year to catchup rent for every month it sits vacant Issue isn’t the rent it’s your debt and that’s what you should focus onThe other option is to sell it.

@Kiersten Vogt there is 0 chance I would gamble with what around here is a $35-40k issue.

Again, not saying there is a right or wrong, it is just knowing what that mark up is.As for fair bidding: again, let's assume there is a plumbing issue.  

I just bought a multi family property in Syracuse, NY and one of the tenants is a real issue.

Using it now.I'm not sure how old the app is, but it ported to my new phone without any issues.
