There's free content on their site.

Unless the booking comes from a direct booking site that is obviously legit, you NEVER EVER rent a place off the OTA!

Do you have experience using those sites? 

Skype if you’re home is far away, or try to even meet in person.Ideally, your relationship with your property manager will be one you retain for years to come.If you are looking to find an Airbnb manager, feel free to reach out to me directly (via direct message of through  a phone call) or try a free tool on our site that will guide you through this process. 

Quote from @Najeh Davenport: is there anyway to find out the inspection requirement for section 8 in montgomery, al  There is a form on HUD website that I used as reference https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/52580.PDF

Infact, it's advertised online with the Realtor.com site showing all the amenities of my apartment, the electrical, the plumbing, the windows, the door, the shower and toilet and even the kitchen sink so obviously it must be legal because I can't see an agent of his caliper risking his career and livelyhood for undisclosed info.

There are also owners that buy at $30,000 home that is dilapidated, in the worst part of town, and not in rentable condition to anyone that has a job or just standards in general.I suppose there is the chance that you were done wrong by 5 property management companies, and had a run of horrible tenants, but I would wager a guess you got what you paid for. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

@Trey Onufrii It's tough to say which one is the better investment without more details, like - cost of each parcel(s), are there utilities close by (especially the Jomax site), what's the terrain like on the hilltops?
