The site had a couple snags, but the Events team was quick to support me.

I have had first time investors purchase short term rentals from out of state while working full time, and they either elect to run it all by themselves after developing a boots on the ground team, or they hire it out to a competent manager and let them do a bulk of the work.

You probably don't want to invest in someone's first deal unless you know them extremely well, so make sure you ask about the management team's track record of doing deals together. 

Also have your team ready in regards to whos going to rehab the property.

Hey @Devin Bost, I would highly recommend a few things to help with this. 1) Have systems and processes lined out for any emergency you can think of.2) A spreadsheet of subcontractors/ vendors that could handle the situation that arises (plumbing leak, electric out somewhere, etc.)3) Your cleaning team and handy person should be utilized for some things.4) Something like Breezeway can give you 24/7 support around your property with a dedicated phone number line.

@Matt Moreland and his team at KW are better versed in the analytics in LBB than me though.

The key is to make sure you buy in the right areas and have a solid tenant-screening process and management team in place.

My reason for joining this team is because i am ready to achieve what I have been put on this planet to do and that is to help people who are struggling but, I cannot do that without a team and resources to help me along the way.

@Brock Mogensen, I scheduled a demo with their team and it looks like a great product.

I am not hard to find if someone wants to work with me.As someone who has run an on-market real estate team with as many as fifty agents in the past, I can tell you that the problem is that real estate agents are lazy and unfocused and want the low-hanging fruit with limited work.
