It is entirely possible to self-manage with a strong cleaning team.

That hard work includes making the investments that the current owner hasn't made (nicer kitchens, new flooring, fresh coat of paint, etc.), removing tenants and marketing to new tenants.

He recommended we do some work to move the outflow from nearby downspouts further away and then clean/reseal the interior wall.

Additionally, consider operational costs like cleaning, staffing, and marketing, as they can quickly add up.For management, outsourcing to a professional property manager or leveraging tech platforms for bookings and operations could streamline things, especially if you plan to scale.

It's a lease, not one of those clean energy assessment lien crap things.

Of course, the floor plan has to be conducive to this.

The guests have a credit card on file and your policy should allow you to charge for damages or excessive cleaning.

Need a lender who understands that clean title will only occur on the day of closing.
