This allows the owner to “write off” the value of disposed assets immediately, rather than continuing to depreciate them.

My preference is to prioritize longer bookings and STR in the gaps.

You certainly want to vet your property manager to ensure they are focused on balancing asset protection with tenant satisfaction.

Personally I do not consider an overseas VA to be an asset manager....

I highly prefer Virginia for LTR buy and hold. 

I am not acting in an agents role as I am providing the service to help the owners sell their assets, while enabling the buyer to acquire cashflow positive deals that banks are not providing with current rates.

Personal assets-  sell them4.  

Having 2-3 contractors in each field is important, as your preferred guy won't always be available. 

We'd prefer not to have anyone else on the loan - just my son. 

By exploring options for cost-effective utility usage, such as installing low-flow fixtures and implementing irrigation systems, we can significantly save on water expenses.To keep things running like a well-oiled machine, you’ve got to have a rock-solid asset management plan.
