Pools are expensive to maintain and have a higher risk factor.

If the house is being properly maintained, they are paying in time, and of course cutting the grass and overgrowth—that’s a perfect scenario.

I'm looking at a market and I can buy 20-30 year well maintained 3/2 single family (new floor, paint, etc.) for around $120-$130K.

if the management company is performing to your satisfaction they are worth every nickel they make. typically a crappy business but should be profitable as the daily tenant/owner whining if they manage a large portfolio is brain damage. add that to finding, keeping and managing good employees/contractors and maintenance people, maintaining multiple escrow accounts, getting audited occasionally etc... they certainly arent doing it for the sheer pleasure and adoration lol.the most important issue with property management is ARE YOUR UNITS PERFORMING as they should be?

Whether you maintain your property is independent of whether she pays the rent.

HelloI have 401k from my previous employer and instead of maintaining a SDIRA I wish to invest in real estate perhaps on a owner occupied multi family if that's feasible( if not at least on an investment property,) I also currently own a rental income property and also planning to start an LLC for software consulting with one or more employees.i would like to know what would be the best way for me to strategize so I can invest in real estate using 401k from my past employer.

It takes full-time attention to manage & maintain these types of properties for the numbers that will work. 

It’s still a pretty big property, and a bigger property would be more expensive to maintain anyway (roof, siding, flooring, windows etc. more expensive to replace, higher utilities, etc.), so you could look at it that way!

I have seen anything from roof only, to structure only, to both roof and structure, exterior mechanical systems, to parking lot, detention ponds and well systems, and even utility lines.NN especially in cold belt states can be a lot of hassle having to maintain certain aspects of the property for a tenant.Absolute NNN new build Dollar Generals typically range from 6.25 to 7.0 cap rates with 15 year primary term leases with flat rent until the option periods.

You then sign up with a Broker and they will provide additional education and tools.To be an “accredited investor”, you need to earn more than $200k (depending on the state and the investment)  or $300k jointly for the past two years and expect to maintain that level of income in the future.
