I’ve been educating myself daily on the forums.

I have hired a revenue management and listing optimization company that tracks all of this for me on a daily basis.

Most get bogged down dealing with the BS minutia in their business & while it’s inevitable, those who lack organization skills are spending disproportionate amounts of time putting out these daily fires taking away from their ability to spend their time on business development, where growth occurs. 

Have a good lease with "teeth" - late fees for late rent, occupancy rules, pet rules and etc. - and do not violate your own lease by being too easy, or very quickly you will not have any lease at all and your tenant(s) will do whatever they want at your expense. 

They did not make me aware of the daily compounding interest this would cost me.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

At 1031 Capital Solutions, we have daily conversations with landlords contemplating selling their rental properties, many of which are single-family homes or small multi-unit residences.

Highest accuracy in the business as they actually update their data daily.

Of those that do own a 2nd home near Los Angeles, many of those homes are weekend get away homes which are typically smaller than what they live in daily.  

I get call daily in investors trying to buy them.
