They all cash flow and are easy to manage (so far).

I also have separate damage protection from my channel manager (OR), but you can get it from Waivo and some others. ive just heard too many horror stories and i bake the price of coverage into my rental costs.

I've been doing revenue management for over 10 years now (hotels and STRs).

On the Schwab accounts I manage we don't pay that but, it's there.

u can see these homes on my website. also if there is any way to manage it.. if you can figure out how to get paid as a WA resident you will enjoy the same no income tax status you enjoy now.. 

The property management company I use charges you for pictures.

@Devan Praska I do not have a manual for my tenants but have created a manual for each of my properties in the event that something might happen to me and someone else would have to take over the management of them.

Kenzer, To your first question about liability, yes a LLC can help protect your assets from taken, but you have to manage it correctly.  

During the partnership, you can jointly manage the property, increase its value, negotiate a flexible repayment plan with the seller that allows for larger payments after the property appreciates, ensure a written agreement that clearly specifies repayment terms and timeframes and refinance, and the sellers are able to 1031 at their leisure?
