Its a pleasure to provide professional property management and real estate information.

I have a unique situation as I have lived rent free most of my working years, at a boarding school that provides housing.

Depending on location (state) there are options for 80% cash out with no seasoning as long of proof of rehab is provided.

I may be able to provide you some helpful contacts, etc.  

@Sehyun Lim,I’m active in both Chattanooga and Huntsville and would be happy to provide some perspective.

Unfortunately, I did not verify the information provided by my agent regarding HOA restrictions and home insurance costs.

I'm a new landlord and have some renters coming to look at the property. I scheduled a showing for the weekend but just scheduled another for tonight. If the group tonight is interested, do I give them an application ...

The bank protects you by disbursing payments to the contractor ONLY when certain milestones in the project have been reached.If you're looking to pay for the rehab out of pocket AND want to manage the project yourself, J Scott's books provide a great manual.

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?

Happy to provide more details if you'd like to connect through direct message.
