Not close (4th on my list), here to expand my allocation to RE in fact

Where's the financial guru that told them that paying the rent should be a second or third paycheck allocation priority?

@Jesse K.It's time to take the bull by the horns and allocate time and effort for you to do a site visit.

Just know what your numbers are so that you know if the contractor comes back with a bid you can have a general idea if that will work for your rehab budget allocation or not. 

I allocated $100/mo for vacancies and $150/mo for repairs (plus CapEx reserves) You’re thinking that’s too low?

Plans start at just $59 per month, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious sellers.LendFoundry Loan Servicing Solution (LSS): This robust software offers features like loan tracking, repayment allocation, delinquency management, and investor reporting.

Important things: have savings set aside for repairs/maintenance(I allocate 10% of the rentals for this), and money set aside if your vacancy lasted longer than a month.

I don't know enough about any of that but I know there are people who can help you plan out your investments in their amounts, allocations and timing to maximize your returns and avoid taxes. 

I am very content with my strategy of asset allocation and diversification that I only look at and rebalance once a quarter.

That strategy may not be a perfect fit for every investor, or may only be appropriate for a portion of an investor's allocation.
