@Alecia Bolton yes just be careful as allied is only licensed in a few states.

Felt like they wouldn't know how to care for an entire house. 

Management fees are steep, you're competing w/ bigger operators as well as mom & pop places - it's hard to get the personalized care needed, in my opinion, to be successful. 

Everything I read says we have a housing shortage. 

Vet potential partners carefully and aim for relationships that can grow with your portfolio.In this higher interest rate environment, focus on cash flow and creative financing options like the HomeStyle rehab loan or seller financing.

You can stop reading and start organizing.Buy more properties.

Usually, they take care of exterior maintenance and upkeep plus you have amenities that you can advertise to your tenants.

From what I’ve read in The Economist, demand for “off-the-beaten-path” destinations has increased post-pandemic, as travelers seek quieter, less crowded areas.In my backyard, investors and homeowners alike are increasingly drawn to areas like Gilbert and Chandler due to their exceptional growth potential and quality of life.

Applicant credit scores should be treated with a high level of care and should not be handed out when they aren't assured that you are locking them up and taking due care with private and sensitive data.So, many places, including the screening company we used for years before moving to a PM, provide a suitability score rather than the actual credit score. 

Trying to read between the lines it sounds like you have a regular owner occupied homeowners policy in place on a rental property.
