Sometimes they get excited but usually not. 

I speak with the tenants personally and they are usually happy to tell me all the issues.

Fortunately, they should and usually do have local contractors in the area that they turn to for maintenance. 

Above those two, scheduling and time blocking are usually where people are failing.

If you have a mulit family property, you usually get more rent per sqft.

For costs, you’ll typically need to budget for title insurance (usually around 0.5%-1% of the purchase price), attorney fees (varies but can range from $500-$2,000 depending on the complexity), and closing costs (might include recording fees, escrow fees, and other admin costs—generally $500-$2,000).

Vacation rentals are usually much nicer, are close proximity to attractions (beach, mountains, lake, theme park etc) and have nicer or more ammenities.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

There is a washer and dryer in the house (it says it in the description) but there’s no pictures in the listing currently.
