I am also planning on using a property manager as I have an 8 - 5 full time job.

If you live in CA, NY, Boston etc - the financial difference is big enough.Investing in your home town is always best, you have the home-field advantage and you can buy, rehab and manage a lot more efficiently.

I started my career with the renovations team renovating the houses we buy, and with the property management company working with our residents and our maintenance teams.

The key is making sure you have the right team in place—outside of market research, finding a trustworthy property management company is one of the most important factors in making long-distance investing successful.

Then pay them a fee for finding the deal and pay them 8-10% of rents to manage the rental(s).

As a property management company in Washington, we help owners navigate these challenges and optimize profitability if they want assistance analyzing their property or planning future strategies.

Long term rentals are easier to manage and come with less risk.

However, there's a critical detail that many tax advisors conveniently overlook when promoting these studies.Here's the uncomfortable truth: If you're a high-income earner (AGI > $150,000) and not actively managing your properties, those promised tax savings might be locked away for years.

I selected Lewiston for the post as I didn't see an Augusta option, but I do work all over the state.It was my family's property management business that brought me to Maine and sparked my interest in and passion for helping investors achieve their goals.
