I think that's a great approach I have a lot of clients who self manage have no issues at all.  

Just seems like with rates still high + taxes + no homestead relief + rising insurance, and needing a PM (I’m in Denton co) I’d need to really find a good deal to make it cash flow well.  

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Now IF you have all those bases covered, my tips are: Take GREAT pictures and for the love of all that is holly please no close ups, wide angel pics.

No deal(s) just insights & offers to obtain a premium membership that cost ten times the membership you already have (with monthly or annual dues).

Yes and no.

I have no mercy and no tolerance for poor ops when it comes to stuff like this.

So how are you going to convince an investor, presumably an American, to invest in a foreign country where he/she presumably has no experience rather than investing in his more profitable backyard.

If no one but owner-occupants can STR... then that should mean opportunity for owner-occupants who STR their primary residences in many jurisdictions.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

but if you say "can you walk 10 properties for me"... the answer is going to be no.
