Having your handyman do showings could be a solution, but keep in mind that if he’s not experienced in tenant screening, it could expose you to more risk, especially with squatters or less reliable tenants.You mentioned using something like Showmojo for smart access, which is great for efficiency, but I’d suggest ensuring you have solid procedures for background checks and tenant screening if you go that route.As someone who’s owned a property management company for 5+ years and manages over 300 units, I’ve seen the impact of not properly screening tenants.

This is rent minus mortgage PITI and property management fee 10% (I don't include capital expenses in that calculation since I already set aside a reserve fund and the HVAC and water heater are 5 years old.

Unlike gas and water, in Philadelphia electricity is not lienable.

So double check with the county on any of those requirements if any.Where does the water come from?

BTR is still a very small portion of the market in deliveries and less efficient than apartments I'd stay clear if you are new. 

To weed people out but, the way im doing it doesn't feel very efficient. 

We added a second high efficiency boiler that also heats water- Brute Combi-boiler, had the HVAC contractor add lines and a new Natural gas service.

Last week, we had an issue with the plumbing in a home we sold.The buyers moved in, used the water, and some areas of the home started flooding.We sent vendors out that same day to investigate and fix the issue.

It's time to align myself with a tax professional who not only understands my current situation but can also help me scale efficiently.

Here you can test the waters with 3.%-5% down, have your own place, and then see if you want to continue investing (chances are you will:))
