Then by all means, go for it.

People who tend to have strong credit and credentials can go elsewhere.

Michael, welcome to the journey!

I'm also a big believer you don't need to pay anyone to do it.

Florida is an expensive market so you're going to have a hard time as an investor putting down 25%.

- Owners often make the mistake of using the highest comparables - when their units do NOT offer the same amenities, finishes and location perks.2) You PMC may be right in suggesting to wait for the following reasons:- Some tenants always seem to leave after ownership change- Some tenant want to see how good the new management is before deciding to stay or go- We're heading into winter, the WORST season to replace tenants!

Use THAT to make $2000 payments every month.Start saving for or start marketing to find rental properties.

I’m not local to all of them, but I’d suggest connecting with local REI groups ahead of time — they’re active in each city and often open to meetups.

Who do you think gets to pay all those expenses? 

Just looking to get to know some people in the area and understand the market a bit!
