How long does it take to screen a tenant and find a qualified one for LTR?

If you’re hiring a PM long-distance, you’ve gotta vet them hard upfront or you’ll regret it later.

Because we are dependant, for the most part, on word of mouth recommendations it is vital that our recommendations are valid. 

In my area these are rare so they are difficult to set market rent, and I imagine get a lot of wear and tear with a lot of occupants living there. 

But yes, now that we are here, maybe let him know that if things do not get up to date or cleaned up you will go to his superiors.When people are late right at the beginning, I let them know that the behavior is not acceptable and let them know there are consequences to that bad behavior. 

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

We are going to run it as another bed a breakfast - the same model as the other beach property.  

Understand your short term and long term goals.

. 😂 But we are learning a lot!

Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn and connect with fellow investors.If you’re looking to invest long distance, I definitely recommend building your core-4 team.
