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

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

Good pro tip is to not tell the tenants you're moving into next door that you're the owner but just affiliated with the property manager.

If you love property management and want to start a business keep looking into it.Otherwise keep buying income producing properties to generate wealth.

Also note that my company will possibly either cover closing costs if we sell or provide property management for two years if we rent.

Why Staying Informed is CrucialRegulations govern every aspect of rental property management, from tenant screening to eviction procedures.

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

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

I would also urge you to make sure you fully understand how they operate , A-Z (from how they make their profit to how many doors they are managing). 

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.
