You could do a limited service (outsource booking + guest communications) to a company like mine or evolve for a lower fee and then manage your own maintenance and cleaners.

I know First Tech and PenFed are, but they both have a limit of 4 financed investment properties, and I am just over that.

Building positive relationships with tenants can increase their retention and reduce turnover, promoting consistent rental income.Consider FHA loans with lower down payment requirements if you're starting with limited capital.

This seems simple enough and I could increase my umbrella coverage limits for added protection.

Something where I can make selections such as limit to topics only or include the bodies.  

If you're not a REP you're going to be limited to 25k.

I would also try to familiarize yourself with local landlord-tenant laws, including fair housing regulations, security deposit limits, and notice requirements for entering the property or terminating a lease.Prior to renting, conduct a thorough inspection of the property before the tenant moves in, and document the condition with photos or a video walkthrough.

I don't use their reporting at all anymore mainly because I was double accounting for stuff with quicken and the limitations with their system.

There are a limited number of permits available in each neighborhood and there is competition from hotels and push back from the community.

Commercial is very tough compared to residential to get into with limited funds/assets.
