So, a tenant can better tolerate small yearly increases rather than holding off and giving them a large increase further down the line.

I noticed Q4 to be better but still not a fast moving market.

The more houses I see, the better.

If you really want an LLC with a registered agent there are much better companies to give your money.

Then ask them how they can expect you to pay for repairs you never approved.If they are ethical, they will work with you.If not, it's probably time to find a better PMC.

With their established networks and resources, they can resolve issues more efficiently and with less stress for the property owner.However, if you have the time and availability to oversee daily operations full-time or nearly full-time, self-management may be the better choice for starting out.

You will get a higher appraisal (more money out on a refi) and have better appreciation and an easier path to a sale when that time comes.Very exciting stuff! 

This might not reduce your taxes, but it's a better use/return for your money than paying down a 4% or 5% mortgage. 

Licensed contractors have more of their "shtuff" together and thus are better at their job and naturally will cost more.

My cost to Airbnb is better than VRBO and the same as direct (I pay a 3% merchant fee).
