At REI Nation, the owner can hire our management company. 

You can reach out to me for more information if you are on the fence. 

Maybe you just hire someone and pay them to manage your projects? 

They could even hire you to do the work on the house and instead of paying you they could just give you a credit at closing.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?

That might even be enough to make it hard to be hired by a traveling nurse agency.BTW, I am not a lawyer that can give legal advice.

Yes, more information is needed.

Just got off the phone with another DIY landlord looking to hire a PMC.They really didn't like our response to their question, "How long does it take you to find a tenant?"

You can also hire a VA to do this for you.
