The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

You should consult with local property managers and find what the average DOM would be to lease your home and rental rates etc. this would be a good starting point. 

Meanwhile, I have 10 units management experience. 

Also thinking about wholesaling as a means to build capital  @Makani Donaldson Do you know anyone in your market that owns MTRs and LTRs that manages their own properties and needs help?

I manage the program for one so I wanted to provide good questions to ask.

Hi - congrats on purchase, Championsgate is a great STR area, as somebody who owns and manages homes in the area, I would suggest you use a STR broker, Fudge insurance are in Orlando and specialize in STR homeowner insurance, we use them for both our properties, but also other insurance needs.

Joe Edwards is managing partner & we’ve been working with Nick Raiamondi.

Does it have shared systems you have to manage or separate utilities for everyone? 

Reach out to a LOCAL property manager that knows the rental market BEFORE you go under contract! 

For owner managed properties like this we see expense ratios in the 35%+ range.
