I am invested in a small multi family in TX and the management was not able to fill the property and do repairs and the income has dwindled badly.

You can contact some local property managers and get a better idea of the rental market.

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

My wife continued to be the administrator of record with the state as we added homes to our portfolio and she would assign the house manager as the administrator designee for the home. 

Hi Aaron,It's always challenging when companies go through transitions like this, especially when it involves something as personal and critical as managing retirement accounts.

A lot of investors who succeed in EC know the tenant base very well and a lot of them self manage.

I have a feeling just starting out my home is not going to get much exposure on sites like air bnb or vrbo until I get some good reviews.If anyone has experience in this market I would be intrigued to hear how best to manage my new STR.

I'm currently renting and when  decided I wanted to focus on real estate investing, I decided not to buy in Tampa because of the low MF inventory and in home house hacking is not for me.

Cash flow can be great if you manage it well and keep occupancy rates high, but factor in the added costs of management, cleaning, and potential vacancy dips.

Step 3- hire property manager to manage/look for rentersStep 4- look to refiance out of the hard money loan(how long after having a renter in can we refiance?)
