@Howard Cheng, the IRS does not care who the taxpayer for the property is. 

They don't care and they'll say its your fault putting their child in danger.

Anyone who is crazy high or crazy low compared to the others needs to be looked at carefully. 

Forming little groups in the background to down vote certain individuals comments based on skin color, or religion, or perceived political leanings seems like something we could all do without on this forum.

I told the manager I've managed a portfolio of short-term rentals and that my previous landlord allowed me to do it and loved that it created an incentive for me to take exceptional care of the property.

It sounds like you're in a good position to evaluate your options carefully.

As an owner, I just want to know that the manager cares about my property almost as much as I do and is going to want it to be successful.

Analyze potential rental income versus expenses carefully to ensure the property will generate income from the start.

I can imagine a juicy well taken care of property would not be up for grabs from another landlord.

Look into factors like vacancy rates, local job growth, and tenant demand to pinpoint promising markets.Once you find a property, work on running the numbers carefully—factor in purchase price, rehab costs (if applicable), property management fees, and reserves.
