Be a great landlord, provide timely communication, responsive maintenance and fair treatment.

I personally don't want to use them again mainly because of the lack of communication 

So much can be done online, and while you DO need to be reachable by your guests, you do NOT have to be reachable within 90 seconds, so don't feel hostage to some unreasonable standard of communication. 

Pools are cost efficient above 20 units, but under 20 it’s often better to just fill it.

I have also managed the day-to-day operations which involved me ensuring all amenities were stocked, coordination with the cleaning staff, and handling communication with challenging guests.My Remote work skills have proven me to be a great asset for my property owner who was not much involved in running their airbnb rental but was well-informed by me. 

@Yvette Rodriguez - please be advised that TX can do 2nds (I've done them before) but they are a fairly efficient state when it comes to non-judicial foreclosure.

We have 15 rentals and have been using Buildium for 8 years for tenant communications, collecting rent, and leasing.

If you are adamant this is how you will scale your business, I would overemphasize the importance of systems because the BS minutia operating real estate in these markets will be greater than in higher barrier markets where greater operational efficiencies exist. 

She owned the property for about 12 years and although she didn’t believe in ghosts and communicated to me she never experienced anything she had guests who still would tell her they had seen the woman in the master bedroom where we had so many experiences with her.

Communication was not good so the entire process so I said no..
