You mention not a fan of landlording, great, the bank never get's involved in that stuff right. 

I use Google Calendar and Tasks for a lot of stuff.- You can create a Meeting, but use it to also take notes and set task reminders. 

I recently became interested in checking out some of their new offerings, but as I was researching I saw a few things in the reviews for Kasa Parota in Tulum about a legal battle with some of the owners and locks being changed before hotel guests arrived.

I also love @Alecia Loveless idea with taxes, very good stuff!

After we completed the repairs (all cosmetic stuff) we handed it off to my property manager. 

Don't confuse the two.3) Treat the experience and service like the hospitality experience it should be-- all questions pre-answered, photos make it look majestic, accessibility is easy, the experience brings a follow or a recommendation.4) Manage the property manager-- ask the right questions to make sure your listing gets the appropriate attention it needs, and incentivize them to do so.That's the basic stuff. 

They kept messing things up and hiding stuff from me and then would be aggressive towards me. 

I am just researching, and the more "negative" stuff I found about it the more I am inclined not to make an offer on it.

Also, running a flip with no money and hoping you get a good return with all the other stuff going on in the background starts to add stress, and you end up not enjoying it.

Fourth, tenants tend to “try more stuff” with mom and pop landlords than property managers.
