The biggest issue I found when I started off while living in San Francisco is going to be the high entry points for investment properties + the landlord laws not being that friendly. 

I found this deal during a foreclosure process while handling the closing as an escrow officer.

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

Lease to a Property Management CompanyPartner with a management company that handles the STR or corporate rental for a predictable income with minimal hassle.

I need some suggestions on how to handle a situation with my tenants.

I'm curious how they handle the calendar, pricing, guest communications if they don't have a STR PMS.

@Maurizio Pisciotta a good PMC can handle rehabs or intro you to contractors that can.We handle everything for our clients in Metro Detroit:)

As a new landlord, familiarize yourself with tenant laws and have a solid lease and screening process in place to protect yourself.Be prepared for maintenance expenses by setting aside funds, and if managing the property feels overwhelming, consider hiring a property manager to handle day-to-day tasks.

Evictions are something you can handle, but you need to have a good grasp of things before you start IMO. 2.
