If you enjoy going to the bank to make your deposits then you should continue to drive to the bank to make your deposits.I suspect most of the Tricks of the trade will be items to either save time or money. 

Major HOA items are roofs, exteriors, and foundations.

Personal Savings (automatic contributions and dedicated for fun/non investing items such as vacation and personal residence projects)We really like Ally and the APY is much better than traditional savings accounts- currently 1.90% APY.

Another strategy is to look at the "eviction fees" line item, as well as the turnover costs and see if they are abnormally high.

Continue to educate yourself and you will continue to find new items on your journey. best of luck.

My partners and I hired a few people and did what we could to finish the last remaining items.

At our company we like our clients to be involved as much as they want to be with the expectation of trust in our expertise for certain operational factors.Also, if the turnkey company has well-established policies in place for leasing, resident on-boarding, standardization of renovation approach (replacing capex items first and foremost), and property management, then they could be a good option for investors.Also, look to see if they have warranties in place to cover the renovations they have completed on the property.

I understand you are taking care of their property, keeping it stocked with food items, toiletries and fresh linens.

@Eric MauryThe type of loan product normally has little to nothing to the way items are reported on your tax return.If you obtain a mortgage in your personal name; the banks are able to offer you certain types of loan products.If you obtain a mortgage in an LLC; the banks will offer you different types of loan products.You are entitled to the same deductions regardless if you have an entity/LLC or not.

What did the last appraisal say, I'd fix or remedy as many of those items as possible along with matching condition of comps
