Hope that helps explain the policy a bit more :) I need to stress again that I was not in the right frame of mind when I made this post.

I use a bookkeeper in TX (likely the same lady that Chris was referring t) and QBO.

We needed to build more there but the cost to build has doubled and the return is t sufficient.

Managing properties remotely can be stressful, and the right property management team should never leave you feeling in the dark.When interviewing potential PMs, don’t just ask about the services they offer—dig deeper into how they actually carry out key tasks.

They handle everything—guest communication, pricing optimization, cleaning coordination, and maintenance—allowing you to focus on scaling or other priorities.While you pay a percentage of your revenue, the time and stress saved often outweigh the cost, especially with larger portfolios.

t happens, and it usually happens when one least expects it. 

Turnover costs can be frustrating, but they’re worth it for the peace of mind that comes with having quality tenants—tenants who pay on time and don’t bring the daily stress of dealing with bad renters.If you keep these tenants, they’ll likely cause more damage, knowing they can get away with it.

Toxic paint et al.Would you want your family living in house remodeled with cheap Chinese s**t?

The rental yield is pretty low compared to its value, and selling now while it’s in great condition could help you avoid the stress of managing it or dealing with wear and tear.

Not realizing I was only getting a few hundred a month from it and from a cash-on-cash perspective I'd have been better off buying TBills with the click of a button instead of all the hard work, stress, time, and planning I put into it.
