However, I am still very hands-on for my management business, typically logging 80 hours a week between my two jobs.

It's a part time job now.

@John Matthew Johnston 80% of the time, it's a thankless job:(You're never fast enough for complaining tenants, nor fast enough or cheap enough for owners.To have any chance of success, you have to be extremely organized, or every day starts with your hair on fire!

GC walked off the job.

It is our full time job (so no other W2 job for us).

From analyzing deals to exploring creative financing, I’m realizing that success in this business is about persistence, relationships, and constantly improving. 

Since you're a citizen but you live and work abroad you'd still qualify mostly for second homes occupancy or investor non owner occupancy (primary is hard to claim if your job requires you to be physically next to the office as an example so an underwriter isnt going to readily believe you unless you can get HR to write you a letter to state you're remotely capable of earning this income/job duties anywhere).Hopefully that helps let me know if you have further questions into mortgage planning.

I had more than one contractor do a great job on the first and then go downhill from there.

Quote from @Lexi Lehman: Quote from @Derrick Lewis: I use TurboTenant for their other features (and tenants submit maintenance requests there), but haven't seen anything about a partnership with Lula until now.Lula doesn't cost anything for the property manager as a subscription normally, you just pay on a per-job basis.

According to Tom Cruz hereafter referred to as DB, I wasted 31 years of my life training to become an ortho surgeon but the DB doesn't understand some people enjoy their jobs and are passionate about helping other people.
