Meaning walking the home, seeing what needs to be done to get rent ready and completely managing it from start to finish?

At another property with just the sidewalk I let the tenants take care of it, but the liability of these steep stairs makes it too important for it to be haphazard or me having to scold them to shovel and salt the walk and steps.I know in snowy areas people with houses contract plowing for the winter at a flat rate.

Realtors have likely walked through and done a broker walk through.

Walking score of 95.Pre COVID rental numbers:Monthly gross rent $15,250Cap rate 7.1%Future rental numbers:Estimated Monthly gross rent after current tenants move out $13,950Cap rate 6.5%Because monthly rent looks to be about 20-30% more if you rent by the month, I am considering renting out my duplex for monthly rentals on Airbnb/other sites and potentially for travel nurses (ideal because several hospitals are walking distance to my house).

This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

Next BIG item, where is the video walk through????? 

When is the last time you did a walk-thru (highly recommend taking a video!)?

However, if you feel you need their input earlier, you could offer to pay for their visit to walk the property with you pre-inspection.

You will learn a lot, but you just may walk away with new friends, new partners, and maybe even someone who can call a mentor.
