If you have time on your side and flexibility in your schedule I would suggest finding a local firm that you can intern or work for.

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

DM me if you'd like to schedule a call to chat about this.

“What would you buy if you wanted tenants who stayed many years, always paid the rent on schedule, and take good care of the property?”

Costs of materials can fluctuate, so there are expenses that will be estimated. 2. structure a payment schedule that depends on certain parts of the project being completed.

We actually don't ask or ever schedule cleanings on any major holiday.

The rent schedule, this is a different story, but lenders will always side on the fence of conservatism.

The biggest problems we faced were scheduling and communication.

Our schedule is demanding, and I won't be able to manage the property on site.

Shoot me a text and we can schedule a time.
