Quote from @Karl Kauper: In my 20+ years as a landlord in three different states, it’s my experience that the owner can screen more effectively and find tenants way more quickly. 

Quote from @Suresh Patibandla: Have used facebook marketplace and it was helpfull and quick as i can easily get an idea of prospect tenant looking at the profile. 

I had the PM get in touch with the contractor and he addressed the "issues" fairly quickly. 

As long as you have some residential areas where RVs and Boats are a pain to park or not allowed at all you will have customers.

I don't but they will tell you pretty quick if they insure there or not.I've never heard of Elmsure.

Here's a quick overview of the process:Highest and Best Use: Start by evaluating the land’s potential.

The forums are full of self-managing landlords who make little mistakes that turn into big mistakes that cost them years of cash flow (or more).If you want to be a DIY landlord, I recommend books, blogs, classes, or other resources to educate yourself quickly.

It works like this:(1) Save up enough money for a down payment(2) Buy a single family home that you will Airbnb/VRBO(3) Ensure the “average period of customer use” is <=7 days(4) Materially participate (5) Cost segregate the property, resulting in large depreciation deductions(6) Use the losses from step 5 to offset your W2 incomeWhat makes this possible is that operating an STR is considered “non-passive.”
