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

Even with some people I believe are honest, I simply believe most do not properly analyze and manage risk, as is evident with nearly every syndication doing capital calls right now because they didnt properly plan for rising rates.Dave Van Horn however, along with his company PPR one of the few people I trust in the real estate space.

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

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

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. 

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

- Who will manage it?

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. 

You need to work with a property manager that has experience with this, unless you plan on doing it yourself.

Their company is pretty great at not responding to their communities people , not following local law yet alone their own lease agreements The uptick of lot rents I get it it’s business but also driving out affordability for people which again it’s a business so some may say that part is just the territory , but not following lease agreements , hiring poor management and then doing nothing about it when it’s escalated is a reflection on their business aswell   best of luck.
