The trade-offs are real, but for consistent cash flow and the right landlord, it can be an excellent strategy.What’s the best way to start?

Vrbo has free price automation software.I use Excel for book keeping.I don't pay for any third party software, not really needed on 1 or 2 properties.I charge a little extra for cleaning fee than actual cleaning costs.

Milton and Farmington can be excellent choices, too, often with more budget-friendly options and the chance to add value in less saturated areas, might have better cash flow luck here.For lenders and agents, I'd recommend networking with those who have experience specifically in the NH Seacoast markets since these towns can vary in terms of tenant demographics and rental demands.

That is an excellent question.

This Meadowbrook Dr SE property presented an excellent opportunity due to its favorable location and untapped potential.

You can mitigate almost all of the risk by just hiring an excellent property manager. 

If you are offering excellent services, you'll win and your clients will win too. 

I agree I am burnt out but I had excellent tenants before this incident.

You give every spot a plug, so it no longer matters if someone parks all day or all week. 

Excellant job and excellant post highlighting specifically what worked for you and how you went about doing it.
