The most important thing to keep in mind is that fast, quality maintenance and good communication are by far the best forms of customer service a property manager can provide.

The customers from VRBO were of better quality. 

Hey Chris,Yep that is pretty standard to do, feel free to reach out if we might be able to help.

I'm concerned that if I place an ad to find people who will work on an hourly basis (in the area of the property) that I might have a hard time finding people who can reliably respond to emergencies during off hours, but I can't afford to have someone working full time or with standard on-call rotations. 

I have good standards.

The difficult part isn't finding that property; the difficult part is finding quality roommate tenants and having good systems for screening, setting up rules and maintaining your future investment to achieve the best results. 

Many builders would not want to begin building on top of previous work, especially if it's sub standard.

@Hanzel Ana Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Standard Charter Bank is getting into storage and transactions, PayPal is offering crypto purchases and are seeing higher than expected demand and are rushing to rollout the global offering.

With rehabs you can get to significantly lower purchase prices and typically the lender will just be looking for  a100k+ ARV so that you can refinance out of the loan once rehab is completed (100k as-is value is pretty standard for DSCR loans).With rehabs experience is the biggest factor to LTV and rate so partnering up with someone for the first one or first 3 will get you significantly better terms (working in the same area can also provide benefits in terms of LTV).
