Fast, simple, investment level choice, outstanding profit margins, not a lot of competition (most investors have no idea how or why this niche housing segment works).Take the cash you make and invest in income producing real estate :)

At least that is how it came off.Anyway, they do require a $5k NON-REFUNDABLE cash deposit on deals, so make damn sure you can close, and that you don't miss anything during the initial walk-thru.  

Hi @Dilip Pothugunta, there are a number of outstanding options listed here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/property-management-toolsI know for certain that some of those solutions are excellent at helping you collect rent and keep track of maintenance.  

Also, the Apartment Association of Milwaukee is really, really outstanding and the Milwaukee Wealth Builders has some great people in it too.

This will trigger your motivation to be patient and wait on a really good deal or if you'll need to be less selective due to the timing of your lease ending.In regards to the credit score, yes try to get that increased, run your credit reports, pay off outstanding debt, my exact suggestion would be to follow the Dave Ramsey baby steps up until step 4 (small emergency fund, pay off debt, 3-6 mo emergency fund, then stop the babysteps).

To learn more about SFH rentals look at youtube content from Jason Hartman/Empowered InvestorTo learn more about more general principles of real estate investing and multi-family look at Ken McElroy's youtube contentThe bigger pockets youtube channels are outstanding, we prefer "On the Market" from Dave Meyer for data and analytics.

I get and appreciate your mentality, Ethan, because I’m the same way: I’m super self-confident and pretty damn sure I can be good at whatever I decide to dedicate myself to.

Just a post showing an outstanding investment decision.

These two together, point to a slow increase of cash flow and not much appreciation.Historically, San Diego has had outstanding appreciation.
