Another thing you should consider is whos' going to finance it and managed it.

That does seem to help but most self-managers just use the 2 OTA without a PMS. 

This is perfect being 2 doors down from where we live so we do not have to pay cleaners and property management.

We've been managing our properties for 2 years now and been doing a lot of the work ourselves to save money, such as yard maintenance, cleaning, unit flips, etc.

We use Guesty to manage 40 units and it's the best we've found.

Another benefit of selling my current house would be that I could use the $100k to finance my next project and wouldn't need to borrow money which would save me a lot of money in interest.

Im eager to work hard full time on projects, can do multiple at a time. 

In fact, my internal team manages our website and SEO fully as it is a very crucial piece to visibility.

Worked with my brother on a project south of San Antonio about 25 miles from downtown.

You can also hold money for maintenance, capex, taxes, insurance, or other projected expenses.
