Anything that involves a licensed architect or engineer providing a stamp is going to cost something, because they will review the person's work to determine if they're willing to bear the liability for that, and that takes man-hours.My previous firms always flat-out refused to stamp someone else's drawings because they had no idea whether any of it was on the level.

That is fairly common in small town mid-state areas where COVID shot up prices and then fell flat when rates skyrocketed over the last 12-18 months.Mid-Term rentals are always +/- depending on time of year and how the property is marketed.

I realize all attorneys differ and it could be hourly or flat but I want to do some research before hand.The plan is to sell as I have no interest in keeping it so there won’t be any repairs, if any, until the redemption period is over.

I am a big fan of bnbcalculator and rabbu for quick analysis and screening of properties 

A few things important to our team would be a strong screening/application process, tenant and team communication capabilities, and digital key/gate access integration. 

Make sure your listing is SEO optimized with the right keywords to attract more renters—many property management companies can help with this, along with tenant screening and payment management.

Section 8 is a tool, not a cure-all.It can be a great program if you screen the tenants well. 

Depending on the size of your portfolio, I suggest considering either "PROPERTYWARE" or "INNAGO":Propertyware is ideal for larger portfolios, offering customizable and automated reporting features.Innago has been very effective for me, enabling property marketing, conducting screenings, and managing rent and maintenance requests.

Also, what are the most important metrics you go through during the initial screening of a listing?

Just work your tenant leads, find the best one, screen & lease them, and you're on your way.
