I have been a landlord and investor for over a decade AND also work as a senior/regional property manager so I feel like I see both sides and have some good insight on this- manage yourself if you have the time and fortitude to do so, you will make mistakes but it will pay off, get a real estate license (not hard to do plus you can sell and buy properties and get commission) and know the laws, be willing to do the research, NO ONE IS GOING CARE AS MUCH ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY AS YOU- that being said, not everyone wants to has the time ect or headache or likes asking for rent…FIND A MANAGER THAT ALSO IS A LANDLORD INVESTOR, I can’t tell you how many property managers I’ve tried training and that failed at our company because they just don’t get it from an owner or investor side, like “no tenant we aren’t going to come replace your stove again, no we aren’t going to clean your bathroom cause you didn’t , ability to analyze when to do maintenance and not, ability to explain to tenant owners POV, I tell every owner I am not telling you anything I haven’t done or I’d do my self, a lot of property managers are blue colar type workers and have never invested in their life and just done get it, 4 out of 5 property managers fail at my company because of this especially for single family homes, find a PM with speciality in SFH for your area, for example, a PM in Birmingham MI (upscale area) will fail in Detroit or lower end markets (but that’s were the best ROIs are)

If the average home price is $1M, and you want to get in the business of helping homeowners transact... getting a license seems like a way more obvious path to success than wholesaling. 

If you plan on using private money funding you'll need a licensed contractors bid to get the loan.

THe prospective tenant provides their driver's license and other info and you can give them a code (if you have a smart lock w/ Wifi) that they can use and you can change afterwards.

Hagerstown is a fantastic growing market; the long term rental game is great if you screen tenants well, but mid term rentals with travel nurses are pretty lucrative here.I’m a full time agent licensed in MD and PA, let me know if you want to chat any more about markets!

Actually although I Wholesale, I’m a license realtor 2010.  

Total fines for him was $1500 plus mandatory ethics and finance training in order to keep his license, and $1000 on his broker for improper supervision.

Get a pest control company out & make sure they are licensed, otherwise, the city won't back downIf you attempt to kick them out now, you are likely to look retaliatory, which is always a problem.Tackle the issues and be more active on site for the balance of their tenancy; the more they see you, the fewer problems you are likely to have.

I'm excited to join this dynamic group as a licensed investment real estate broker.

I also have my real estate license in the state of Minnesota, so I'd also be happy to help with that in any way I can.
