Seems like a good property manager is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle when picking a market.

The first part of the puzzle would be to have robust General Liability coverage attached to your rental property insurance with a high limit ($1M).

If you are planning to buy OOS with only internet relationships, it can go sour real quickly if you don't vet the pieces of the puzzle well.

Hello John, Finding the right property management company is the most important piece of the puzzle.

@Victor BaronichWhat your CPA is probably saying, and that would be correct, is that hours you spend working for your real estate business inside C-corp do NOT count for qualifying as REPro and probably kill REPro.What is puzzling to me is that REPro would be useless if your rentals are inside a C-corp anyway, and rentals should not be inside a C-corp to begin with.Your setup seems to be very detrimental, as @Eamonn McElroy mentioned.
