@Vanessa LozanoWelcome to Bigger Pockets! 

I can also allow a tenant to grow with me - just moved a family from a two bedroom to a three bedroom apartment.Personally the only reasons I would choose to invest in multiple markets is a) because I wanted an excuse to go somewhere regularly or b) for economic/geographic diversity.I had the advantage that my home market was good.

Oddly, Vrbo bookings nearly dried up and I get a steady stream of Airbnb leads despite the higher rate I set there.Unfortunately, by giving Vrbo a three-month exclusive head start, I missed revenue that could have been earned by listing on multiple OTAs from the onset.

@Jay HinrichsI saw Passive Pockets before I post this.

@Bruce Bennett Google Reviews are great and Bigger Pockets reviews are even better!

Pay attention to 99% of the posts on Bigger Pockets, most folks here have very little money.

Quote from @Vivien Martin: Hey everyone,Excited to join bigger pockets.

I have a tenant who lives in my very nice three bedroom unit whose lease provides a pet authorization for “one dog, one cat and one rabbit.”

I am just saying if I managed your property, I would never paid for the damage out of my pocket simply because I have a solid system and team to win any reimbursement cases. 

Obviously there are risks if I get laid off and would loose all the tax savings and be paying out of pocket for the property, but are there other things that I should consider?
