This team should consist of PMs, lenders, contractors, agents, and other service providers in the selected market. 

This new structure has come with many many headaches for me, the prime one being there was absolutely zero communication with owners like me about the change.

As you can see your failure to manage and communicate and also making assumptions to get out of doing the work to deal with the changing situation causes you a lot of hassle in the end.

This portfolio consisted of around 80 single-family homes, some mobile home parks, a commercial building, some multifamily, and some luxury short-term rentals.I started getting a lot of people reaching out to me and asking me questions about real estate and if I would help them learn how to invest.

LTR is a bit more consistent and predictable in terms of rents.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

It's pretty much a war zone there and I've had to communicate mostly by e-mail and text as cell service is about non-existent, and all the roads are closed so there's no driving over there and no gas even if you did get there. 

Recording it in September or October will not make any difference on your trying to get a feel for your monthly cash flow, as long as you are consistent in the way you do it.

If you have a long standing tenant, good communication, and rent is paid on time this shouldn't be an issue. 

First, I would build your CORE 4 wherever you're investing which consists of finding a great Realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney!
