It's like saying to parents your sun or daughter's grade has been raised from E to D.

I scaled back to my favorite 4 states to invest and started working on efficiencies.I personally see the property manager as the “Hub” of each region.

If you're providing an "up-scale" environment and hope to attract more guests of this calibre (I do; they don't quibble about higher nightly rates and rarely cause problems) then I recommend white duvet covers and wash them after each guest.  

Start small and scale.

Water Drainage:Check the grading around the property to ensure proper water runoff.

If you are looking to continue to scale your portfolio it may be worth looking into a DSCR. 

For me, if i had not acquired the knowledge of the process of property management on a small scale then how could i possibly know what to expect from a property management company or individual.

This does depend on your goals and your preference on more appreciating markets vs. more cashflow centric markets, but there are definitely properties out in our neck of the woods that could work to scale up!

It's essentially grade A primo for america. 

Want to scale up into multi family taking it one step at a time, trying to get some skim in the game.
