Opportunity to start property management

[Jerry Poon]

I have been investing in real estate for a few years now. I have an opportunity to manage a single family home if I want it. I think I know enough about real estate to be able to tackle this.

There are parts that I don't know (best software for very small portfolios, insurance if needed?, etc), and best practices that I would like input from seasoned pros.

I would like to know about those who started, how did you scale, and what are the most important lessons you wish you were taught before you started managing properties.
