Second, are you planning to self-manage or hire a PM?

Set for Life by Scott Trenchhttps://a.co/d/51cIiA1Starting with the fundamentals of personal finance will help ensure you have confidence and are able to withstand the risks of real estate and also set your self up to be able to take advantages of what investment opportunities come your way2. 

A simple check-in during their stay shows you care without being intrusive.Implement Self Check-In: Guests appreciate flexibility.

Does that mean you're doing fully self serve showings?

Listen to @Henry Clark  If I were doing anything self-storage, he'd be my first call. 

While you shouldn’t categorize all tenants and it’s the landlords responsibility to properly screen, the tenants who reside in better situated housing and pay higher rents are more financially responsible meaning lower rate of rent loss and will generally take better care of the property which combined will result in less time allocated towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).

Hi Julian, welcome and congrats on your transition to full-time real estate investing!

Once you're all moved out & settled in your new primary, you could always explore DSCR rental loan options to take capital out of the rental property if seen fit-- which would also remove the current loan from self encumbrance & free up your DTI.It's never a bad idea to hold onto assets in an appreciating market!

If you are self managing 1-2 properties, minimal softwares are needed IMO. 

An additional goal with the LLC is to hopefully write off some time and miles I put in on these properties as I self manage and repair.
