There is definitely an increase in first-timers who have no clue about the process.

Starting with buy and hold with little capital, lots of monthly expenses, and hourly wages is going to take a long time. Real

This particular building is in decent shape and has been maintained well enough, though it's had very little capital improvements recently (potential for increased rents with some rehabbing, but not going into that here...)  

One tip: I always look at the view of the front yard and back yard online just to give me an idea of how they maintain the property.

My 3rd party managers have all used AppFolio and I have to maintain the books in QB or Xero (I use Xero).

I don't think it is a good idea to promote the idea that your property is somehow substandard or improperly maintained if this is the case. 

Once you have a property inspected you can get a much better estimate for repair costs as you will know if it has been properly maintained or if there is a lot of deferred maintenance. 

Unless the house is perfectly maintain f and licensed, I would pass.

You should have liability coverage in the 1M - 2M range and require your tenants to have 1M liability as well.As long as you operate a safe business environment and properly maintain your properties there should be no issues.
