Greetings BP community, I recently joined a national senior care living development team.

I'm curious to hear how other property managers and landlords are navigating this.Here in College Station, TX, I don't accept Section 8 applicants.

Socal has big time brush.. the only way to manage that would be to constantly cut it back but then you erode the soils.. 

Set up a basic system to manage your listing, update it monthly, and always ask guests for feedback—and don’t forget to casually ask for that 5-star review!

Very good resource for getting set up with STR property managers, cleaning services, realtors, lenders, etc. https://www.getchalet.com/

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level). 

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

Starting out in real estate can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into clear steps makes it manageable.

Sell the properties.You mentioned having difficulty managing the properties as is.

Not only do we find the housing market to be a little more manageable, but a lot of people travel there year round.
