I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

I am a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

Hi @Rosendo Romero, my family and I own investment properties in palm beach county and we also own and operate a property management company.

With insurance companies canceling policies and raising rates has anyone uncovered a way to self insure rental properties?  

Hey Adam,I’ve been in the Tampa real estate game for 20 years as an investor and owner of a property management company.

Quote from @Catherine Ding: My PM company is offering to do it for a high fee of $100/month so I'm trying to find alternative options.

Does anyone have suggested property management companies they've used in Florida that they can recommend I reach out to, to see if we're a good fit for each other?

I don't know what I have to gain about doing otherwise.If ANYONE would like to chat further, please DM and I'll send you my cell phone number so we can chat directly.
