If you're spending your time counting trivialities like this you are "tripping over dollars to pick up pennies".

I've only come across a couple 401k plans that allow you to carry the loan and continue making payments after you're no longer employed with that same employer.If you don't repay the loan, then it's counted as an early distribution.

All family stays or blocked nights for work projects are not counted at all.

@B RyansRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Family and friends do not count as Landlord references.2.

I see that you are a lender - any input about getting financing as a cross-border investor?

I heard some lenders would consider future rent that I will collect from the property even if it’s just 7-80% of it, and when I talked to two mortgage lenders so far they said it won’t be counted until I actually have the rent come into my bank.
