I got my security deposit and first month's rent, so I just figured I'd make a thread to celebrate this little milestone, as I don't have a lot of people I can talk to about investing. It's exciting to have a good investment even with today's housing prices. I got a SFH in a Midwestern metropolitan area and am using a property management company. Assuming no major catastrophes happen, my ROI should be 11-12%. This is in no way meant to be bragging; I just wanted to share. Good luck to all of you with your own investments!

Edit: thank you to all the positive responses! Even if I did not respond to all of them (there's a lot there), know that I appreciate all of you.
