As you grow - you can create a management company as a llc to sign all your leases.Side note - create a google voice account so the tenant won't have your phone number.

Everyone should do what is most profitable, and of course if it appeals to one's altruistic or virtue signaled side, then even more better.

What do you read for market signals, national trends and general economic insights?

What I also see is a signal that the build-to-rent model is still deemed (by the NC authors of this faulty legislation) viable in NC, since this bill explicitly states, "purchase a single-family home" as opposed to "build or purchase a single-family home".

Also, set up automated BP notifications from the marketplace that signal you whenever properties are posted in your area and find various investor groups to join in your region in addition to BP (facebook etc.). 

When searching for a property manager what are some of the green flags you look for during the interview process that signals this person(s) would be a great property manager.

Go T Bills.So when the investment signals say back away from housing, highly volatile equities, etc , what do thoughtful investors do?

@Doug Shapiro my understanding of the August locks is that they require wifi. 1) is that correct, and 2) are you using a wifi signal that you pay for, solely for this purpose, or a tenant-paid-wifi, or how are you doing it, exactly?

Oakland As: - The Oakland Athletics have signed an agreement to purchase a 49-acre site in Las Vegas to build a new ballpark, signaling a move away from Oakland after more than 50 years in the city. - The A's hope to break ground on a new stadium with a seating capacity of 30,000 to 35,000 in 2024, and they aim to start playing there in 2027. - The construction of a new stadium for the Oakland A's in Las Vegas is expected to cost approximately $1 billion, providing a significant injection of funds into the local construction industry. - The relocation of the Oakland A's to Las Vegas will lead to the creation of various job opportunities in the region, both directly and indirectly, and boost the city's tourism industry, generating additional revenue for the city. - While the relocation is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, potential challenges may arise, such as increased strain on infrastructure and rising living costs for local residents.

You will get people asking you, pitching you, the trick is learning those signals when a person is interested because I have found most are very skidish on saying they'd be interested in "getting in", so they ask in a very round about manner.
