Depending on the size of your PM company they may or may not have an internal maintenance position to handle these.

May your bookings be as plentiful as you wish, your guests be low-maintenance, thoughtful, and honest, and your positive reviews numerous.

First one on the scene is a great position to be in.  

Single-family homes in cash-flow-positive areas tend to be easier to manage, especially if you use professional property management.

Plus, you do also put yourself in a position that makes you more liable for a lawsuit if you self manage.  

But I can't help but think that I could benefit from the occasional discussion about real estate strategies or bounce opportunities off one another.Coach Carson's RPM program details below:Cost: ~$2500/yearBenefits (form Website):Personalized Coaching: Members receive direct support and feedback from Coach Carson and selected coaches, including monthly group coaching sessions, one-on-one "hot seat" calls, and small group coaching within Action Teams.Action Teams: These are accountability groups of 8-10 members that meet weekly over a three-month period to set and achieve goals, fostering perseverance and resilience among participants.Comprehensive Resources: Members have access to a repository of documents, systems, checklists, and more in the community swipe file, including tenant screening criteria, due diligence checklists, and rental analysis spreadsheets.Exclusive Community: RPM offers a private community of like-minded investors who prioritize time and freedom over scaling rapidly, providing a supportive environment for shared learning and growth.The Group Targets:Investors with experience owning 1 to 8+ properties, whether short-term (e.g., Airbnb), mid-term, or long-term rentals.Individuals who are coachable, hardworking, and value time and freedom over aggressive scaling.

Would be glad to hear suggestions/feedback on it as well if you use it!

But an equity position is not recommended unless they own the dirt or bring some other kind of value. 

Any insight, positive or negative, would be immensely helpful.

I assume it would be easier than analyzing small multifamily, as I don't have to verify expenses or income (instead I would need to pay more attention to lease and tenant), but I found it easier to get a general "cap rate for an area" when it comes to other asset classes.Your feedback and help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
