As an individual landlord, especially one managing remotely, it might be challenging to secure similar terms.Payment Trust: Vendors may also be hesitant to extend credit or prioritize someone they are unfamiliar with, particularly when the owner is based internationally and payment assurances are less certain.Real-Time Issues: Handling urgent maintenance or unexpected issues can be cumbersome without a local presence.
