My experience with travel nurses is that they are often  on a housing stipend so they are not ideal clients if you have something higher end, we make better margins on airbnb and vrbo but the travel nurses do tend to stay for longer periods.

I've also read about umbrella policies but wasn't sure about the following:1) I don't have auto insurance (i don't drive), so wasn't sure if this would affect that.

. $500/unit isn't ideal but shouldn't have an issue covering that.

And I’m glad to hear that you went from 4 unit to 9 units I would love to do that as well. im just looking for the most logical way to get as many units as possible My price point here is you can get a run down 4 unit between $280,000 and $330,000 depending on size, and a nicely updated goes somewhere in the $365,000-$440,000 range again depending on size and extent of work done.with an average rent of $1,000.Ideally one of my statagys im considering would be buying a 4 unit at 5% down around $280,000-$300,000 purchase price, add between $30,000-$45,000 in repair witch will ideally add a good chunk of equity into the property and then within 6-8 month refinance and hopefully appraisis in the high high $300,000s.

Ideally I would like to invest in the south wedge but “deals” in that area can be tough to find In my opinion.

I think we need some legal counsel to get out of our contract with this property management and ideally without paying this management team money since they've cost us so much due to not paying the bills on time.

Yes, some higher end employment would be ideal.

If you have cash flow (ideally you will live for almost 0) then its a good price.

AlthoIgh using tax write offs is not our ideal strategy in building our portfolio.

How much money is an ideal amount to start in my first real estate investment ?
