Of course, managing your own properties is a good thing (instead of having to spend the money on a manager), but you have to manage your property in a professional manner.

I am going to be the contrarian on this subject.. 1. the pre license course is valuable as it teach's the vocabulary of real estate and the basic laws of your state.. its dirt cheap and one of the better ways to build your foundation. 2.

Brad.I'd just search on google "Pinetta property management".Call around to these companies, ask them a few basic questions until you find the right fit. 

Many of them sell the course at 20k a pop and that is how they “make money in real estate†Sad but true.

Such luxury as indoor/outdoor pool, park for skateboard, tennis court, tiki bar with dance floor… of course if you need to think about the ROI and how much maintenance it takesBest ROI items are - big screen TV, hot tub, playground, PS5, BBQ…The issue is cheaper items require more maintenance.

3: Does the property fit with your current investing goals? 

While not every mentor is a guaranteed path to success, proper vetting through referrals, review of a mentor’s track record, and alignment between the mentee and the mentor can shine some light on whether or not this relationship is a good fit.

If local options aren't a fit, expand your search to other markets with strong rental demand.

Again, if the numbers work, and you can fit in the cost of a PM service, what's the holdup?

The exception to this is a built-in micrwave, of course I'll manage those.
