I self-manage all of them using our system (there are other software platforms as well) and a network of maintenance professionals.I take an annual trip to all property sites or on extreme exception, e.g. hurricane in 2004 put a tree through the roof of a SFH so i flew down for that.

Then have it checked by an attorney to make sure you didn't trip yourself up.

Go take a trip to Iran and see if those are the kind of people you want to 'please'.

The only positives seem to be value-added bonus points to your tenants - saving them a trip to the laundromat.

In a FSBO, all they want is the realtor to make one trip to their door with a qualified buyer.

But never managed to be a net winner for a trip.

My best suggestion is simple: try to find contractors that are willing to work without trip charges.

I'm still very small time but getting there. just wanted to offer this small back ground because it helped me substantially when i bought my first house.i should point something out... credit cards can be dangerous for some .... i used mine maybe ONCE a month. by a new hat OR video game, OR DVD, or 1 other thing that is cheap. when the $25 bill came in, i paid it off every month. don't put your trip to vegas on this card for your senior trip :protest:

If your renter sues you b/c they tripped on your sidewalk, dont think the LLC is going to protect you from anything.

That said, continue the discussion, and Cash - I'm truly jealous of you and your ski trip!
