Hospitality, attention to detail, cleaning/handyman team, programs used for bookings and calendar organization, inventory audits, home maintenance, etc. are all extremely important but all of that doesn't even begin to describe all of the things an experienced property manager does.It is a matter of how much time and energy you have to invest in your properties and if that time and energy is worth it to you.

Investors aren’t acquiring fractional property ownership but are instead buying income rights, meaning the arrangement avoids triggering real estate co-ownership laws or property title issues. 

Totally understandable that you may have time to commit to it, as it is extremely hands own.

Paid off real estate cash flows extremely well.

The underlying note from the lender is still in place and the Due On Sale can be triggered.

Because your statements are extremely misleading (unintentionally I suppose).

I live in jersey but bought my property in Pennsylvania because jersey and NY are extremely expensive.  

In those instances, the title doesn't change hands, thus, the Due on Sale isn't triggered.

Easy things, but they trigger the algorithm.  

additional challenges are the inventory shortage and good contractors being extremely busy.
