Something that I haven’t considered is that my profession as a merchant marine leads me to a schedule of 3 weeks onboard, 3 weeks off of my ship.

this is too specific and I have no clue what fee this is...is it an onboarding fee? 

*Lake Anna, Reston Virginia*Originating in 1990, The Reston Town Center is a major employment and entertainment hub in the area, with companies such as Google, Leidos, Facebook, Microsoft, General Dynamics, and Fannie Mae, to name a few, more than 50 retailers, including an 11 screen LOOK Dine-In Cinema, CitySwing (Golf Simulator), a seasonal ice rink, many well-renowned restaurants and bars, and other highly attractive amenities such as a full service 243 bed hospital, a new metro, and the Dulles International Airport that is receiving $700 million renovations by 2026*Reston Town Center*Source: Rediscovering Reston-- the First Planned Community in the USSource: Washington Dulles International Airport to Expand Passenger and Cargo OperationsOne of the biggest points of discussion over the last few years has been around the office market, and how the rising office vacancies due to the shift towards a work-from-home and hybrid work schedule have pushed many companies to downsize or relocate out of previously major employment centers.

It took me about 10 landlord conversations to find one that was on board with this model.

I've had such a good experience with the Section 8 tenant at Property #1, that I said multiple times via e-mail months ago to Section 8 that I wanted to go "all-in" on Section 8 properties and build a whole portfolio around it.Now the issue is that Section 8 is super particular about making sure you have all your paperwork and permits in place before being allowed to onboard Section 8 tenants at your property.

(I have not signed and returned a copy to the tenants) Within the past week or so while renovating the vacant unit, Ive noticed an unusually high amount of activity pertaining to one of the occupied units i.e. vehicles stopping at the property for short periods of time, the tenant leaving as a passenger in a vehicle, then returing on foot, different people coming and going on foot.

Get on a great PM software like TenantCloud or Buildium NOW to save yourself the hassle of trying to onboard everyone further down the road.

So I would tell you that 2-5 rentals is a piece of cake to manage - even if working full time (we kept 2 corporate jobs until we were up to 20 rental units.)The other thing I would tell you is that there are MAJOR control differences between being a limited partner in a syndication - where you are more akin to a passenger on the bus which is your investment, versus full control of everything when managing your own rentals.  

I hope BP can fix both their onboarding process (at least lay out the ground rules and not just cancel someone at any moments notice without a warning) and hopefully provide more qualified leads. 

Just takes extra time to explain and onboard but I haven't had issues yet.
