If you want to do it yourself, be ready to answer text messages at 3 AM, solve problems within a 2 hour window, deal with contractors who aren’t able to “turn” a vacancy quick enough, and guests who want “instant” gratification.  

What if the person staying at your place signed a contract but their 1st payment check bounced.
