I also have separate damage protection from my channel manager (OR), but you can get it from Waivo and some others. ive just heard too many horror stories and i bake the price of coverage into my rental costs.

As an Accountant and CFO with two decades of experience in real estate management, I’ve observed that landlords often handle things differently.

I managed my own Airbnb account for the first 3 months after handing it over to Evolve.

The result for a background check using Zillow Rental Property Manager's site came back with a result of "N/A".

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Plus, compared to other parts of Florida, the Panhandle is still relatively affordable, making it a great option for first-time investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio.Another huge perk is Florida’s no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, which make it easier to manage and profit from rental properties.

New Jersey property management is pretty bad overall.
