Easy to dump a lousy rental, but impossible to get back the time we wasted in managing it.

It’s awesome to see you channeling your sales and business skills into REI.Those strengths will definitely serve you well.Building a solid team—from lenders and agents to property managers and mentors—is key to long-term success.

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

I have a short term rental that I self manage and am considered a real estate professional based on material participation rules.  

It's low class but some managers I know make s killing.houses are in poor condition since they were built quickly in 1946 to house the returning soldiers from the war👍 

@DongHui Patel - Did you decided to go with Anderson?

They use more expensive subs because they don't have to manage the project. 

I learned it was possible to buy investment properties and manage myself from a distance.

Consider reaching out to a local Rental Owners Association to connect with experienced hosts, gain valuable insights, and access resources that can help you navigate property management more effectively.

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.
