(Avoid managers who profit from repairs.)How do you screen prospective tenants?

Tell them that you are serious about running a quality STR and to have them call you at the first sign of problems.That will give them some peace of mind and have a way to get a hold of you instead of calling the cops.

Other factors such as the quality of the tenant, and location will also determine the value you can get.

Best way to find cohosting gigs is to look for properties that should be performing well based on their location and quality of furnishings or amenities but cannot seem to get good reviews.

But I also sometimes think owning only 1 property in LA would be less stressful and a more reasonable mortgage payment would improve my quality of life.

Also the new owner has the advantage of screening their own tenants and signing leases at or above market rents.

The reason for that is I have no idea how bad someone sucks at tenant screening.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

Thanks a lotThe only safe way to find a partner or mentor is to attend local real estate investor groups.Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

This attracts a higher-quality renter, ensures funds are available to maintain the home, and reduces the risk of major losses.
