That, a few podcasts, a few select books, and a couple of subscriptions choke full of info material (less than 100$/month), maybe a couple mentorship programs (for less than 2K/year), and a lot of action on your part and you'll be a lot better than paying $$K for "gurus".To rephrase, do you have more money than you know what to do with or an urgent need to get it to work for you, together with a lot of time on your hands ready to take massive action?

For help with the section-8 process, it's very important to have a PM that's familiar and connected with the HUD programs in the selected market. 

This shift has created excellent opportunities in these areas, with investors eager to sell quickly, turning the market into a buyer's advantage.Investors remain highly interested in North Georgia, but their approach has evolved.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Anything above a 1.5+ DSCR I would consider excellent cash flow with todays rates (hard to find)

Way too much risk but may work profitably in very select markets.

If you have had positive experiences with insurance providers in the area or know someone who provides excellent coverage tailored for vacation rentals, I would be grateful for your recommendations.Additionally, during the property inspection, we found a few minor repairs that need some attention before we officially welcome guests.

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

Uniqueness, location, accessibility and of course excellent, and I mean excellent customer service.We have a 2-3 truly 5-star vacation-esque STRs where we work locally with chauffeur services, restaurants for catering, chefs for on demand meals, etc., dog walkers for their pets-- plenty of services-- that the property managers can coordinate a full service weekend experience for a wealthy elderly couple from New York.
