That property is now a reliable source of rental income and a constant reminder that success starts with taking action, learning on the fly, and embracing challenges head-on.

So far I am happy with my property manager but constantly want to be on the lookout/speaking with other investors in Detroit about their experiences with their firms.

There are 2 group calls per month with Jerome leading the call; it is scheduled at 2 pm PST (not ideal for most people regardless of time zone), Jerome was always late, there is no agenda or plan for the call, his phone reception was interrupted constantly to the point that his line would drop, and each call has ended abruptly with Jerome saying he had another commitment he had to get to.

They are constantly improving the platform and sending new updates of what is available.

At that point I dont know investing would make any sense, I have heard scary stories I was thinking about short term rentals but that needs constant cleaning after guests and conpetition is very high my friend spent almost 200k out of pockets to buy a property for airbnb and he got 17 bookings per year....

I tried the "fix it" option on the Stessa site, and it constantly gave me the error that there was a problem with my bank?

Florida scares me with insurance issues and constant threat of hurricane damage.

It's a very big issue in my market, the #1 I hear from take-overs, how there place was decent, all was good at start but once tenant was in, they were getting a constant stream of maintenance notices. 

It is a constant headache dealing with all these different department s and their advice is not consistent and quite often wrong.
