However, I remember the process of onboarding my properties being a nightmare back in 2020 and would rather just keep my current mediocre manager than deal with a whole new nightmare and still risk them being not good. 

I found out pretty quick my skills from years of running LTR didn't translate to STR and had to learn a whole new set of skills (some of which I already had from a career working with the public).  

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

I know this is above and beyond what most municipalities require, but being fair will make the whole process easier.Additionally, a new landlord can reduce the 60-90-day notice by offering more moving assistance (cash and/or labor) if they move sooner rather than later.

we just managed to get ong to run all new lines and separate meters for our whole apartment complex at no cost to us. 

My property manager called (I live in Denver) and told me they got it turned off pretty quickly, but a whole wall's worth of drywall was damaged. 

Not alot of confidence in any existing rentals as consistent indciators but I feel like so many homes are 1/2 rentals and don't tell the whole story.Anyone have any insight into the Cashiers/Highlands/Sapphire/Lake Toxaway markets to share? 

The issue with watering your foundation is that you have to do it always, every year without a break in order to achieve the desired effect.

This deal highlights the power of well-executed renovations and a strong partnership in achieving impressive profits.

Always gonna be a whole bunch of cheap old houses with a whole bunch of people on Section 8 ready to rent them.
