If you can find your tenants that will put a lot more money in your pocket.

Realtors don't typically like to do rentals under the $2k price point due to how little money they will actually make on the sale.

They signed an agreement to comit to signing the lease or forefeit the money. 

@Ken LivingstonRule number one for maximizing your income in real estate  is to not spend money that doesn’t earn you money unless you have to.  

It's meant to confuse you what if you just keep things simple and focus on the fundamentals of running your business.   

I purchased the property in 2022 with my VA Home Loan, so I have a very low interest rate of 2.75%.Long story short, we've finished renovating and stabilizing rents (for the most part).

Have you ever heard of hard money loans?

Learned a lot and made money so it was a win.

I am a local realtor, and my fiancé and I run a property management company in Indy, where we manage 60+ rentals.

Following that we moved out and turned it into a short-term vacation rental around April 2021 and the last year before we sold the house in December 2022, we leased it out as a long-term rental for 1-year.
