I have always had an interest in flipping houses because I get really excited to see run-down houses, walk through them, and come up with a design plan.

The list is pretty endless.Have you run into any of these issues?

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

I helped around the house, helped them with getting around, running earnings and making dinners.

Simple solution to that- don't run slums, keep your properties in good order. 

They’ll handle tenant screening, maintenance, and rent collection, ensuring things run smoothly while you focus on growing your portfolio.Ultimately, starting local and self-managing is a common path for new investors, but outsourcing property management or investing remotely can work well with the right systems in place. 

- Why would you expect a well-run, profitable PMC to work for free handling maintenance? 

There will be consequences, heads will roll.  

Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.

Even if you don't decide to keep it in the long run, it's an appreciating asset you can make money off of.
