It sounds like you have been preparing yourself by listening to podcast and reading to increase your RE IQ and now I believe the next step is to take action and buy something.

Now if you know the boiler will also have to replace soon, that may just make it worth switching to mini splits.What about hot water?

Same for replacement of broken or missing parts like broken banisters, broken microwave handle, broken window screens, dog faces left in yard,trash, clean out of cabinets and kitchen, etc.

Sounds like the payoff is over 280k and the house is worth 160...so a payoff amount won't help you.

Sounds like you need a good realtor and not a financial advisor Sean!!

Sounds like you have a solid marketing budget, and a great plan to continue marketing as you make deals.

You have to trust the contractor will have your best interests in mind and not gouge you on the pricing  or respond to tenant related or nonsensical issues (ie, I have a broken slat on my miniblind and need it to be replaced). 

That sounds like a great way to get started @Natasha Richardson!

Section 8 sounded very straight forward get a check from the govt lol but obv things I didn’t think about.

This concept sounds very interesting.
