First things first, when assessing property managers, it is crucial to prioritize their ability to collect rent and manage delinquencies.

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice. 

I'd recommend working with a good strong property manager that lives in that area that can check on them.

Are you currently self-managing or do you have a management company?

I am also planning on using a property manager as I have an 8 - 5 full time job.

Just want to drop the message here, anyone located in Dubai or distanced managing properties there?

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

For liability purposes our financial advisor is recommending creating a LLC for managing all of the STR stuff.

Until then, I'll be trying to absorb everything I can to fine tune my approach and prepare for managing REI business post-acquisition.

I'm now figuring out how to maximize the return on current properties and add value, efficient ways to self manage, etc.
