Any recommendations?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'll take any and all advice any of you have, but the two things I'm looking for specifically are: what sites, services, and/or software you use and recommend for sceening and managing tenants? 

If you’ve worked with trustworthy contractors or subcontractors in the Jackson County/MO area (especially those familiar with investment properties), I’d love your recommendations.

I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

Anyone with experience that can recommend a path forward?

This is (1) not something I'd recommend to a beginner, and (2) not something I've been able to do yet. 

If these type of damages occur in the future, I would recommend holding the tenants deposit, or if there is a claim to be made through the insurance you sell them you could approach that avenue.

I recommend you do this annually to adjust for utility increases and other variables.

I’d recommend something like the tenant is responsible for the first $500, $750, or whatever in repairs for each occurrence.
