But if you’re new, relying on that razor-thin margin of error can feel like racing the clock in a marathon you’re not fully trained for.

So all the deals I had fell through because it's almost impossible to find a tenant on your own & again brokers/ real estate agents won't help you even though he tells you they will.You have to pay, then you get put in a group zoom training where he never shows his face.

Occasionally I catch some cleanliness issued that I am not satisfied with which I believe is due to variability in attention to detail between people on their crew, or lack of training and familiarity with my property.I've seen mentions of the value of post cleaning pictures from hosts on other forums.

The hard and the fun part is training my team there in the proper processes from planting all the way through selling.  

Kudos to you for jumping on the train with perfect timing before it sped up again.

My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for over a decade.

I disagree--there are more tough times ahead, but as stated above there is light at the end of the tunnel and this time it's not a train. 

All of my landlord clients I train to self-manage.

Beacon you would want to be near the train and it's priced higher than the Catstkills - same with Hudson.

For example, Clearwater FL (famous beach and Phillies Spring Training) does have a 30 day minimum on rentals, making it essentially impossible to have an investment perform well.
