I have no idea about Long Beach - but I have plenty of clients buying in Tampa with similar rates who are turning profits even with management.

Check your options to use 401k self managed to invest in real estate.

I manage around 400 rentals and probably terminate a couple dozen every year for lease violations.

I don't want to bite off more than we can chew with managing a full reno while we learn the ropes. 

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it? 

Plus, there are upfront costs to consider, like furnishing your condo and any expenses tied to managing it as a rental.As for refinancing, it might not be the right time with interest rates where they are.

* What is your average rent amount for all properties managed?

It depends on the property.... is it value add where there's also a construction component or merely a management improvement opportunity?

Yes, I am looking for an online platform to begin self-managing too.

I would like to start close to home as I plan to self manage the rental side of it.
