When you say a live revenue manager, what do you mean by that? 

I want to remain local in NJ or at most drive down 1hr to PA (self-manage or, last resort, hire a PM)However, I must also consider maintaining reserves, a safety net for my primary home, and an emergency fund.It's just hard for a new investor now :(

Hey Rachelle, I'm a broker and investor up in Sacramento, and manage about 100 investment properties, almost all Airbnb / STR.

@Jeremy H Barton - I'm an investor, flipper, and property management owner.  

You'll let them break their lease and hand them cash.I manage 400 rentals.

- Who will manage it?

Then, start building your connection with local agents, contractors and property managers.2. 

No, you can manage multiple markets in one account.

I’m just getting started and looking to soak up as much knowledge as possible—whether it’s about finding good deals, managing renovations, or understanding the financial side of things. 

Long distance investing/managing is an obvious for me since I move every couple years, but I retire from the Navy in 5-7 years, and I'll finally settle in one place.
