Self managing is a solid way to learn the business, and it’s smart that you’re already setting up systems and tools. 

And therein lies the risk of high-leverage.  

Have you considered moving those funds into a self-directed IRA (SDIRA)?

Most people self exclude themselves. 

These people have been labeled as "motivated sellers."

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

Some high and lowlights:- I had one tenant that brought German cockroaches in and then blamed it on me- Same tenant asking if her daughter can visit but failed to mention it was 5 more very noisy people- another tenant having constant loud arguments with his gf- tenant saved some of my stuff when the house flooded due to a pipe burst and another time during a monster rain storm.

It has solar power, a compost toilet, and other things of that nature to be self-sustaining.

@Anthony Zotto - By the way you ask the question I assume you're going to self manage the property instead of using a property manager.

What's your motivation to get into real estate investing?
