You could make the same amount of money (or more) without the time, stress, or energy required as a DIY Landlord.If you do decide to manage yourself, you need a quick education.

I recommend working with a professional to help alleviate that stress and get the grant pushed through.

Quote from @Henry T.: Sorry to say so after the fact, but you need to learn some landlording basics.Never give the keys to anyone without a proper signed lease. 

Here is my current set up:1) ShowMojo for managing the self showing listings (It has some self showing anti-fraud services, syncs with smart lockbox to issues codes, etc etc)2) CodeBox Jr smart lockbox where I have the keys3) ReoLink Go Plus Cellular Camera with a $5 per month T mobile data only sim card.

If you get to a pound t where it's a C grade rental or better you can start to get decent management. 

Stessa had some features I didn't;t need and ultimately I also wanted tax features. 

The stress of managing my father’s estate, dealing with attorneys, and everything else has been overwhelming.

I've done that and have t had an issues in the past
