(Be sure to factor in vacancy, PM fees, maintenance, etc in addition to PITI)•Do you have additional reserves to cover unexpected expenses like long than expected vacancies, high turnover costs, or major repairs (e.g., HVAC or roof replacements)?

if you ever have a major repair, or an eviction, or a major turnover, you may need to be a little more 'active.'

I was wondering what's everyone's process when maintenance or repairs needs to be performed in the rental property.

For as much as attorney's charge, they should be able to answer this question.The deposit can be used for cleaning, repairs, and unpaid charges.

I'm a licenced Broker and I also handle project management for flippers, contractors, etc.FEMA 50% Rule: ALL of the homes that exist in a Flood Zone have a 50% limit on work that can be done to repair them without bringing them into compliance with current flood standards.

But we already get deductions for maintenance, repairs, and improvements.

You can certainly ask the agent who helped you purchase the property for advice too ;)Since you are using a PM to run things, I don't see any need to meet anyone except your PM and the contractor/handyman you plan on using for repairs/updates.

Tenant screening often seems to get overlooked because landlords know the income is automatic, but the problem becomes the repairs and maintenance. 

This log should include:•The date of activity•The property worked on•Specific activities performedExamples of activities that typically count include approving tenants, setting lease terms, handling repairs, and other hands-on operational tasks directly related to managing the property.

Aha yeah I dont really trust flippers to do the repairs correctly - Even with my own flip I was tempted to cheap out on it but you always pay for it in the end!
