When a lease ends they’ll suggest new rents and if the tenant hold be offered a renewal. some will offer to transfer utilities for you when it goes vacant, all should handle the transfer when a tenant moves in  With 10 properties I don’t “talk” to my PM more than 2-3 times a year.

I am very familiar with the strict zoning laws for Hawaii short term rentals but most Waikiki apartments are either too expensive or leasehold only properties. 

im looking to buy rental properties in florida or texas with very good rental return using my sdira probably 2 properties and also pm to manage it.

@Justin Brin Yes, you can elect to aggregate your rental properties for Qualified Business Income (QBI) purposes, but once you do, you must continue to aggregate those same properties in future years unless there is a significant change in circumstances (such as disposing of a property).

I would focus on systemizing property management as much as possible so adding more units becomes easier over time.If your goal is to buy one property a year, then stick to your pace.

@Chris Hampton big congrats on getting your first property under your belt! 

Not only cities but property types as well.
