A fair rate for solid management typically falls between 20-25%.Superhost or High Review Ratings Matter – Ask if the properties they manage consistently earn Superhost status or maintain high guest ratings.Communication & Accountability – A good property manager should be responsive and proactive.

I have pulled a permit for removing a fireplace, but probably would not have but I had a significant remodel going with permits and did not want hassle of him making an issue of removing the fireplace (the inspection for fireplace removal consisted of only verifying gas cap was in visible location, he did not even spray it).

One thing he used to do was hand-deliver the application to them so he could see how they kept their house. 

That area consists of the Greater Milwaukee Area, Racine, and Kenosha. 

@Isaac Hanai make sure you FULLY understand the negatives of S8 programs, not just the mirage of consistent government rent payments.

It is zoned single family but since the previous owner is using it as a rooming house a few things look different that I am worried about the appraiser not passing:Outside doors for each room with locks.The only common area is the kitchen, no dining room, living room, etc.The rooms consist of 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.Each room has a bed and a small drawer which I am thinking of diassembling before the appraiser comes.Would I have a problem with this?

You want the “how” to be complete, reasonable, consistent, and flexible.

I did confirm that in North Carolina, per the Statute of Frauds, any agreement lasting a year or more must be express, in writing and delivered to both parties, along with consideration (which I remitted via wire). 

don't need any of this junk, just give us the forum. that's all. deliver that then iterate from there... 

It’s a smart choice if you want to streamline operations and ensure a consistent, high-quality guest experience without being hands-on 24/7.I'd be happy to share more ideas.
