With 20 years experience managing my sfr and as a property manager for a broker and a bank, this switch into ABNB has been a learning experience.  

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

I’ve been in the STR game for 6 years, managing multiple properties, and here are some of the tech tools that have been game-changers for me—both for evaluating and managing properties.   

I have some flexibility but rely heavily on my team for admin work and the day-to-day operations of property management.

Quentin, build your knowledge, make sure all this is done correctly.Banks rarely call the loan just because of the deed being transferred, something else triggers this, mostly because the investor decides education is not worth the money.It can be because the Insurance was not done correctly, the seller does not understand the process, the Title Company does not know what to do so they call the Bank and make a mess out of the process and a few other factors,If the investor is knowledgeable on what to say to the Bank if they call this is a fairly simple conversation to have.

The manager doesn't determine what they do and don't like, they 'manage' the HOA to comply with the law and guidance from the Board.

 @Greg Abel I think it's important to consider the long-term, as changing property management software is difficult.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

I think property managers can.

@Alison EvansI could not imagine managing 48 doors!
