Number one advice: Never trust a broker's pro forma. 

Consider creating blogs, social media posts, or short videos on:•How to handle late-paying tenants•What to do if a tenant damages your property•Best practices for tenant screening•How to legally increase rent without losing tenants•By answering common landlord headaches, you’ll attract leads who already see you as a trusted expert.4.Market to Investors•Many property investors want a one-stop shop—someone who can help them buy, manage, and eventually sell their rental properties.

I have an amazing GC now that I trust completely so I can do a full gut reno without stepping foot in the property and I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
