I had a client last year who was self-managing her LTR but wanted to take her RV and travel.

I never received a single response from an actual property owner — just self-promotions from PMCs or people affiliated with PMCs.

My biggest pain point is rounding up help to move them in and out, as I'm a solo self manager.

Going to repost and remove what they called Self Promotion:Ok, several things to consider but buying the rate down is NOT a way to earn more money for your lender.

Lenders might consider this if the other members have sufficient credit and income, but this is up to the lender’s discretion.3.

Hi Amanda, I self manage my properties in Akron, Canton, & Massillon. 

Expect to allocate less time  towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).

Most if not all of my income appears on my Schedule E as rental income from a college rental portfolio that I self manage.

If you see multiple posts a day, it's definitely worth speaking up about like @Nathan Gesner mentioned.At the end of the day, these "trolls, the cut and pasters, and AI posters" don't win in the long term....All sites or groups that grow experience the same issues with moderation (see Facebook groups), but VAs can't moderate because they are doing a letter of the law thing and not reading these garbage posts for what they are - spam, AI, number puffing, and cut and pasting, self-promo.

Not enough current income to move the needle, but all the knowledge required to learn and, if you're self-managing, the always-present "the tenant could move/break/have problem any minute of the day" possibility.
