I'd say you are overestimating maintenance - though that depends on the state of the property.3. 5% vacancy might be low.

Avantstay's services cost money because they provide value.

These straightforward requirements make the process accessible and convenient for buyers.The initial setup costs typically range between $500 and $1,200 USD, while annual maintenance fees are generally between $500 and $700 USD.

What about the utilities, property taxes, maintenance and repairs, capex, etc. are any of those optional for you?

Learn basic maintenance stuff from YouTube (caulking, painting, learn how to use a drill, etc) and find a well priced handyman for maintenance.

I had a call with Simpletalk a few months ago and seemed pretty interesting but haven't pulled the trigger yet as it is costly.I know services do white labels and people brand it into their own AI call services, which mean a lot of these AI calls may actually be the same service...How much does Air AI cost?

The property was in horrible condition, pet odor, lots of deferred maintenance etc.

Their customer service was poor.  

I have some clients who prefer to have a PM for maintenance/contact/rent collection/general management and will place tenants and write leases for themselves in exchange for a reduced rate.  

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
