Are you planning on hiring a property manager or someone who can respond to maintenance emergencies for you? 

-Should I consider hiring a realtor for assistance?

If I had to do it over again, I would hire an attorney to be safe.

Sending some challenging questions with the intention to get you thinking =)Why would a STR owner hire you over another co-host?

As a new landlord, familiarize yourself with tenant laws and have a solid lease and screening process in place to protect yourself.Be prepared for maintenance expenses by setting aside funds, and if managing the property feels overwhelming, consider hiring a property manager to handle day-to-day tasks.

And we keep hiring sock-puppet morons to run this lunny-bin we call "merica".....

Air filters should be on the landlord and it's a great way to do your quarterly inspection at that time.

Down the road, the 1031 exchange and Section 121 combo is pretty unbelievable if you hire the right CPA. 

Other times we have hired and paid for the movers (careful here too). 

If it persists, I would hire someone to clean it up and bill the tenant back.
