I had hired someone to paint but I know he did more contractor work to.  

We ran an ad on craigslist that said Now hiring someone with concealed handgun permit to work part time please call.

However, first timer should always hire an attorney and take good notes.3.

If you can't figure out how to make an investor map via Google Maps or at least do it on a computer (or hire someone to do it for you if this is beyond your skillset), I don't think I'd trust you with my money.

I love Airbnb, but we are looking to invest in future properties in a less continuously labor intensive way. 3 properties are easy enough for me to clean myself but beyond that, we would need to hire cleaners more regularly and eat into our profit. 

I did it all myself, only hiring a few contractors here and there for the more technical issues. 

So If I list a property, I show it to 20 people, then the seller fires me, hires a different agent, whatever.

You may want to first verify their license with either the county or city, and ask to see their insurance policy before you hire them.

@Anna Smith - I invested in Panama City Beach, Fl. last year and went to work for the company I hired to manage my condo, Vacasa. 

I hire PM manage the SFH, but I always need to clean the yard after the previous tenant moves out.
