I currently work for a property management company also located in the Midwest so please reach out if you have any questions!

Cost to build is $350K (I am managing it all myself and calling in favors around the city to get low rates on materials and labor).

I am a local agent, property manager, investor, and house hacker in SLC area.

I am considering a purchase of a Quad unit in Ocala from Southern Impression Homes with management by SunCoast Property Management.

( Regarding interior, and not HOA, management, location)Anyone has experience renting for snowbirds?

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.

However, like most property managers, once in awhile they do have investors interested in selling and at that point, they may reach out to their clients about that sale. 

Let's you prove yourself to your investors in a more manageable way.  

Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

I have one rental in RB and a few in Memphis which i will probably be selling soon since I can't seem to find a property management company that I wouldn't mind working with.
