Second most important thing is can they tell me the quality of tenant I will be renting to.

I think their quality has taken a nose dive and many new ones give out in the first year (happened in 3 different cabins I have now).

But it can be done.I only recommend investing if you can find a quality property manager, one with at least ten years experience managing hundreds of rentals and really good reputation.

As for Booking.com, I haven't had many bookings through that channel, and I wonder if it's due to the quality of the API connection with Hospitable.And one last question, does the owner portal work well for you with Guesty?

This way you can easily refinance in a short time frame after closing and capture the equity you are obtaining from getting a property at such a quality price. 

Walking the property before closing is definitely worth the cost to avoid bigger headaches later, especially with flipped homes where the quality of renovations can vary.

I literally just downloaded this for audio last weekend.

@Loan NguyenRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

In each market I operate in I have someone available for showings this person is usually my runner who is responsible for quality control and restocking inventory but I've also used a cleaner for this.

I also completley share his advice on a bias for action.If you are interested in a good book reference with checklist like models, check out "The Perfect Investment" by Paul Moore and "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down" by Brandon Turner, both also available in audio versions.
