I recently purchased a Short Term rental property and plan to self manage the property.

If you put the house in her name and you have siblings or other folks who would have a claim as a direct heir on her estate, you run the risk of losing the property to another heir. 

Legal height 8ft.Had to add public access to electric disconnects as well.made me add two window in the basement too.Really just need to get an architect who is self certified.

My wife is a realtor and my sons are MLO's and we started a lending company last year :)We do STR's mostly personally with our own properties and self manage all of them.

But, it may not offer the ROI as other locales, and it may not be "fun" like buying in a favorite vacation spot.2 - The highest ROI folks - Self explanatory, will go where ROI is high and/or regulation low.3 - The second home/retirement minded - These people are looking for minimal ROI but want the house in a specific location because they like to use the property and want it to pay for itself.

10) Knowing what to do if tenant is late on rent or doesn't pay.There's a lot more, but many here on BP self-manage and learn via "trial by fire".Of course, you can always hire a Property Management Company to handle it for you.

The way I think of my real estate investments when I started was the same way most people think of their 401ks or IRAs.

I self manage my properties and I screen tenants very hard to minimize these potencial situations.

Are you self-employed?
