I spent hours looking over the MLS to find the suitable property for me (ie: manageable size for a single female and has two units) The moment I walked in the house I knew it was a perfect fit (which I would later learn is how I would buy all my following properties: Lots of behind the scenes research so that when I actually visited a property I would be able to make a decision right away if it was a property worth pursuing) How did you finance this deal?

And beyond that, you'll surely need to do somethings to the property to make it more suitable to guests.

Networking with professionals in the industry and seeking recommendations from other property managers could also help you find suitable managed brokers.
