What would you tell someone starting a property management company from scratch in 2023 to do, or not to do? 

Any suggestion I can put my foot in the door?

Meanwhile, I'm talking to this guy and he said in his other property, the little old lady paying long term rent, moved out, and within a week, the neighborhood people had broken in, had a party, broke most of his doors, stolen all his copper and HVAC, etc.

Personally, I would just knock on door.  

It's a 3/2 , 1,680sqft house in Braselton with a finished basement (2 bedrooms, den) and a recently converted garage.

It is accurate that Hilton MGT. only allows owners to use the unit for 21-days/yr, while the rest of the 344 days, it will be generating income for you.The Hilton Convention Center and Branson Landing Condos offer benefits like garage parking, close proximity to restaurants and attractions, and beautiful locations, some units with lake views.Monthly dues are $300+/ mo. and those dues include things like:Building InsuranceCommon Area MaintenanceSwimming Pool & Exercise RoomLawn Care / LandscapingSecurity ServiceTrash ServiceWhat makes these deals so difficult to pencil out is their management fee of 50%, which is significantly higher than the typical range of 15% to 40% in Branson.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

We found out the property was broke into at 4 am yesterday and the newer furnace/ac were stolen along with some damage to the hardwood floors and the front door where they pried it open with a crow bar. 

I don't know how to run a skip trace and don't know the proper software that people use and in Florida, some people do not take kindly to knocking on doors :)Thank you!
