Most of the people who hire us either have multiple units or if its just a single unit or house they work full time and do not have the time nor inclination to track all of the details needed such as making sure the unit is properly cleaned between guests, managing stocking of supplies, changing remote batteries, keeping sheets and towels fresh and most important of all being available on a moments notice if there is a problem.The platforms like AirBnB weight the guest reviews very heavily in how your property is ranked so positive guest reviews are directly correlated with the amount of money the unit earns each month.But having said all that I would recommend managing yourself if you have the time and energy - it can actually be a lot of fun!

Tenants in place can be a good thing but, depending on your goals, you'll likely find there are more advantages to starting fresh without tenants in place.Best of luck!

Fresh paint inside and out.

I met some most recent fresh out of a guru course that I had to stop in their tracks like I'm a knowledgeable investor you can't one up me with their fake comps.

Even with the MLSes sending the data to Zillow (and others), these "others" often do a poor job of keeping their websites updated with good, current, fresh data.  

It was a fresh contact.

@Cody Fresh, I’m from the Sedalia area and have rentals there.

I became a realtor fresh out of high school last year, thinking I would learn about investing, but now realize they are two completely different things.

You will probably replace these floors in 6-10 years as they will be dated and you will want the extra rent that new, fresh floors can provide.
