Hi Jasmine-Congratulations on being ready to turn your primary residence into a rental.Your question is should you use a property manager or self-manage your property.If there is enough positive cashflow or you can afford to pay a property manager, I always recommend doing so for the following reasons:1.

One workaround could be keeping a separate spreadsheet to track your adjusted tax basis accurately and only using Stessa for operational insights.You could also reach out to a cpa and see if they have a specific recommendation for software to use.  

Recommend multiple payments.

Hey Violet, to obtain additional corporate credit, are you working with a specific company or are you reaching out the typical credit card vendors? 

Sellers do not recommend appraisers.

You have received some great recommendations and if you are yet to decide on an Investor friendly to work with, you can send me a DM and see if we are a good fit.I do provide free mentorship and a lot of free resources and connections to anyone I work with especially beginners like you. 

@Colin Ford recommend getting experience with your RI duplex before going OOS.You should DIY manage the unit next door, so you LEARN about property management, the goog, the bad and the ugly.Then you'll be so much better prepared to invest OOS!

I wouldn't recommend it for a number of reasons. 

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.
