We’ve decided to categorize which amenities will be included with rent, but doesn’t make the price too high, but is still functional for us to manage.

We do have some of the functionality you're talking about like agent, lender, etc.

I cant figure out how to do that..maybe if the search function was easy folks would do it more..

I plan to have an inspection done but I’m concerned I won’t be able to get a mortgage for the property if the septic is not functional.

Hopefully this isn't happening out there--but I am pretty certain it is from what I've heard from investors that have called me to share their horror stories.One consideration to not lose sight of is the overall return on the investment is a function of the amount of money raised and the amount of money returned. 

Redoing the kitchen and 1 bath from functional but old to updated should allow us to increase rents at least $200 or more a month as the rest of the house has been very well maintained and updated.  

I prefer to use my IRA money for strictly lending purposes for this reason and I use my Solo401K (which can be structured to function as a REALLY BIG Roth account known as a Mega BackDoor Roth) with contribution limits of $56K per spouse per year to actually buy investments. 

I high functioning short term rental in the heart of San Antonio!

At what cost does it no longer make sense to contract out the PM function? 

It has full email campaign functions and allows you to create custom lead categories.
