Does anyone have personal experience with specific scrutiny of a logbook during an audit?

Again, I have extensive experience over the last 10 or so years.All the best  

From my experience the first team member to recruit will be a local Project Manager-someone who wants to help you long term as your eyes in the field and boots on the ground. 

Glad you have experience investing locally. 

Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.

You have to work with a team that is investor-friendly and has experience working with out-of-country investors like yourself.

@Stephanie Freed Its been a while- can you give me a update on your experience with Anderson?

I've owned student housing as far as 4.1 miles from the University of South Carolina campus.In my experience, the only reason kids would live that far away is cheap rent.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

I would try to find an agent with investor experience and, ideally, a focus on investment properties.
