I has two GREAT property managers that immediately come to mind, one handling 5 high end high rise condos I owned in Phoenix and the other one handling a 12 unit very lower end apartment building I owned in Arlington, Texas.  

I appreciate it.john Your plan seems well-thought-out, but I’d keep a few things in mind.

If you are going to have this asset for a long time it'll be worth the peace of mind knowing its updated. 

Just keep in mind that contractors may hesitate to attend multiple pre-inspections, especially if they lead to no work.

I don't mind setting things up on platforms like AirBNB and VBRO and even setting up my own website for direct bookings. 

I don’t mind paying those fees if I can build a solid, long lasting business quickly.I know I can piece together all these things by attending my local REI meetings and making connections there.

Hello, my name is Marshal, and I’m excited to connect with this community of like-minded individuals passionate about real estate.

Screening everyone over 18 helps reduce the risk of costly evictions and ensures you’re fully informed about who will be living in your property.Additionally, be mindful of the number of occupants and how it might impact your property.

Would love to talk some more about it if you would be open minded to the market?

I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.
