Lastly and before you think I am going to sell you a training program that cost thousands of dollars.  

Because with an HOA in tow that means your not doing it alone, you have active "partners" who will be taking care of a slew of things so think of it like training wheels. 

Not many landlords buy their rentals this way. although with all the guru training many are trying and we will see how it all works out.it takes sales skill to talk people into deeding you their home.. this is a highly charged emotional situation..

Even though I had a full size W/D on site, I still used this method.....

Of course, you can delegate most of these tasks to employees, but then you should also budget time for employee management, hiring, and training.

If its a volunteer fire company you may be able to donate the house to them for the purpose of training and get a tax deduction .

@Sean Gallagher not a sales pitch, but this is what we provide for investors in Metro Detroit:)Understand that if you hire the latest & greatest PMC, many grow using poorly trained VA's. - Your portfolio will suffer:(You want a PMC that has great systems in place, including a great portal where you can keep tabs on eveything.You will also need to manage your PMC on a regular basis.

If they were part time and weren't up to date on training, most probably go away. 

I could easily train virtual assistants to handle these payments and have an app created for encrypting sensitive data for facilitating the transactions through financial service partners from my main line of business.

Seems like 130 units is a beast to manage, I'd love to hear about your on-site management systems and "experience management" process to stand out amongst the fierce competition in the smokies.
