Should provide tenant payment information, full leasing and financial reporting, etc.Perhaps you suggest a standing monthly or quarterly check-in, as well as quarterly or semi-annual property inspections.Solution to #2 – there should be a clause in the management contract that provides a threshold where any work above a certain amount requires owner approval (emergencies are handled separately).

Would love to hear more about the pros and cons of this platform and semi-self-managing.Thanks!

And a special circumstance of job transfer changed that.I'd tell both the lender and tax office, and move on and get another owner occupant mortgage and I wouldn't lose any sleep.I moved out of an owner occupant house after 5 years and because of the change of address got a semi-nasty letter from the bank saying I was essentially violating the Due on Sale clause.

Do you mean 10k/month in a semi to passive manner?

So my occupation is pretty interesting, I drive Semi-Trucks hauling Milk from local Dairies to Darigold Plants everyday, about 60-70 hours per week.
