if I was self managing, it would significantly help my cash flow but would require time and effort and my time is worth significantly more than what STR PMs charge. 

Looking for recommendations on great property managers for small multi unit 1-2 in the Charleston,SC. 

Be prepared to discuss with lenders how the property will be used and ensure your financial profiles demonstrate strong ability to manage the mortgage jointly.Hope this helps.

My wife and I have 4 long-term rental units and looking for a better way to manage/track expenses/income.

My insurers reimburse me for what I didn't use; it can take a few weeks for the check to come, but that's just cash flow management then.

**Time and Effort**: The buy and hold strategy is less time-intensive, allowing me to focus on managing and optimizing rental income rather than undertaking extensive renovations and refinancing processes.That being said, I am interested in trying the BRRRR method in the future.At the time of purchase, I lacked the skills and knowledge necessary to attempt the BRRRR method without exposing myself to risks I was not prepared for.Hope that answered your questions.

I own and manage 14 single family homes, all occupied nearly 95% of the time (stable rental market in my area), and currently analyzing a deal and figured why not ask for more input from all of you!

We are starting to sell cabins individually and transition into property management, which will enable us to grow and decrease our workload.

This strategy requires knowledge of local markets, renovation costs, and the ability to manage or oversee renovations.I am a loan officer and I could advise you on how to tap into that equity and put that money to work.

With hundreds of rentals under management, it is extremely rare that I let a tenant do work.
