If you are unsure, to start, hire a property manager and don't let the tenants know you are the owner. 

My wife and I come from a manufacturing leadership and project management background.

We are a local brokerage and property management firm, I manage a lot of furnished rentals and work with folks here on BP.

*I'm a property manager, not an owner, so I do have a 3rd account for business expenses as required here in Oregon.There are a plethora of software/apps out there for managing properties and funds.

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

I wear a few hats as a realtor, property manager, STR host and project manager so if you'd like to chat about any or all of those services, I'd be glad to schedule a call!

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.

I am also willing to work for a more experienced investor or property management company in any capacity, be that market research, deal sourcing, property management assistance, rental optimization, or anything else needed.
