We made a bet: be okay with no (or negative) margins on cleaning and let high quality reviews pay dividends years later.It’s paying off. 

If its' long term appreciation (which I'm personally not a fan of betting on) you can look at it as, if you put a small 3.5% down payment using FHA or Fannie Mae, and your property appreciates on average at 3% a year.

Your best bet for locating and connecting with this individual is on BiggerPockets or your local REI meet-up.

It was around 45 days out from the end of the lease term (June 30th) for my tenants per the lease they signed and I physically had to ask the status of my tenants receiving a lease renewal and not one, but two property managers have no idea if my tenants had been sent a lease renewal nor did the property managers make any attempt to reach out to me to check in and see what I wanted to do as the landlord with a lease renewal.

I bet you've paid more than just a membership fee, particularly if you've done any deals.Here's the most curious part of your review.

Quote from @Drago Stanimirovic: Hi Austin,As a new landlord exploring self-management, your concern about obtaining signed authorizations for verifying applicant information without a physical signature is valid.

I had a lot of luck with ASI ASI and Safeco early in my journey, and then I stumbled upon a different class of insurance companies that are more geared towards investment properties.My policies are currently underwritten by SES and they have been great to work with and very geared towards the investor.My insurance agent is a sage source of counsel on the subject and I bet he'd be a good resource for you if needed!

Not sure what to do to document damage inside the house until someone can physically enter.2.

Some guests would feel super comfy still, I bet.
