Searching the Internet drive me to this out and chat, but in case it helps someone else, two years ago I start paying $495 a month in a one year subscription net 30 plan.

and be careful putting this out on the internet.. someone turns you in you have no defense as you just admitted to it

And so while this is all personal opinion of some random person on the internet (me), in reality there is not really a financial ROI in doing more than is needed, and unfortunately doing things well.  

- all you would do is "manage the manager", which you could do from anywhere you have internet access.

I find as much info as I can on internet searches.

I'm wondering if I'm missing anything: Mortgage (20% down, so no PMI) HOA Electricity Gas (None, as the new construction house has an electric stove—everything is electric) Water Bill Camera Security System Internet Lawn Care Regular MaintenanceQuestions: Will I need to pay for trash? 

you can however require an non-internet letter.   

It's better than what you'll get from most attorneys and what you'll find on the internet.

STR is becoming a difficult strategy because there are so many costs (furniture maintenance, utilities, internet, etc.) that you have to factor in and if you are in an oversaturated market, then unless your property is unique, you can only compete on price.

Or one of the literally thousands of books, videos, etc on this thing called the internet?
