@Andrew Liu Does your operating expense taxes/insurance?

While operating as your own GC this will save you money, coordinating can be a bit challenging.Once you have decided the level of involvement you want in the project, just get bids from multiple vendors based on the same statement of work and compare the offers. 

Double closings are no longer allowed in the state of NJ so I've been told by one or two title companies that operate and do a lot of transactions in Northern New Jersey.

To avoid these, create an operating agreement outlining roles, responsibilities, financial contributions, and handling disagreements.

DFW AirBnB is getting expensive to operate and find good deals due to all the HOA regulations that are being implemented..If the property won't cash flow in LTR, then your option is limited to listing it, but I don't exactly know without looking at the numbers, as you can figure out some month to month strategy to lease the unit for a while.One thing that I always tell my clients is that when you are doing AirBnB or any STR/MTR, you are entering into the hospitality industry.

I moved out of it and now operate it as a rental (one unit LTR, the other MTR).

From my experience, many investors prefer to stay hands-off and avoid the day-to-day operations—managing contractors, solving unexpected issues, or finding a replacement electrician.

As others have mentioned, the virtual accounts you can set up for each property was really intriguing to me. 

Your chances of success will be much higher in the best locations because the high demand of people wanting to live there combined with high appreciation potential will make up for the inefficiencies and risks of operating remotely.

Personally, I am a big fan of the "alternative" storage systems such as water pumps, sand etc. because the battery method is honestly not all that efficient on a cost to operate measure.
