Just get a property manager.you have to build the cost into the deal anyway, and while you may or may not have a problem with the tenants it's a much more valuable skill to learn how to manage the manager than managing a tenant. tenant management is not a skill that scales, outsource it and solve both problems.

Sometimes, you may want to self-manage vs. outsource.

I outsource all of the servicing and loss mitigation, just like I would to contractors if I was buying a property for rental.

Outsource the cleaning and maintenance/fixing.Keep in mind when dreaming up the big bucks that even if one month's rent LTR equals one week's rent STR in some markets, the three remaining weeks in the month need to be rented out as well for you to compare oranges with oranges.

The application fee I paid covered the cost of the credit report (which was outsourced to a third-party servicer).Collecting the security deposit and first months rent (by checks or debit cards) up front lets you know they have the cash.

For example, if you had a rental property, licensed each room to a senior for $1,000 - $1,500 paid via SSI/SSDI, nonprofit, or self pay and they did need licensed health care, those services can be outsourced to a local Home Health agency. 

For those of you who pay yourself a salary, do you do payroll in house or hire a company to do it for you?

Also check if property mgmt is outsourced or integrated within their model.

As a New Wholesaler, I am trying to figure out the best ways to conduct my time and focus on my strengths and rather outsource my weaknesses.

You can also get a list of your absentee owners ( I ask specifically for out of state owners) from your local tax assessors office.You might consider outsourcing some of the addressing to save time if you are printing your own mail.
