I am going to just open a separate account and just do deposits of rents and write checks from there.

These are a good start since they had their layers write them and its free.

But we basically followed David Greene's advice for finding a realtor in Long-Distance Real Estate Investing.Here's a summary of what we were looking for:* An agent who has experience being a landlord/investor and so already shares our perspective (looks for opportunity rather than curb appeal)* An agent who knows the Alexandria area well* An agent who doesn't mind showing us many houses and writing a bunch of lower offers* An agent who doesn't mind sharing their opinion about a property being wrong for us so we can move on to the next oneThere are many great meetups here.

Got this note from VRBO today:Dear Partner, We are writing to inform you that effective July 1, 2024, California Assembly Bill 537 will prohibit advertising, displaying or offering a rate that does not include all fees or charges required to stay at a short-term lodging (except taxes and fees imposed by a government on the stay).

@David Butler your answer was so in depth I was wondering if you wouldn't mind, in order, writing each sub I would need to get (what kind of profession am I looking to hire) From your list, it all pretty much common sense, but I cant make mistakes so I want to double check). its a basement , four stories, and a roof deck in the heart of philadelphia.

You can also write smaller checks more frequently.
