It's an active business, not passive so I believe that requires continually evaluating the property, adjustments to decor, etc may be needed as well to make sure I'm fully optimizing the property.I have a lot of home renovation experience from my own personal home and my LTR's already so I'm very used to this kind of work.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some insights on how you’re managing your property lists, either inside or outside of your CRM.

About to close on my first investment property in the coming week, 4-unit in outside of Madison, WI.

So basically I'm at risk of the tenant damaging my property and not having a way of going after her because she is not signed to the lease. 

I'll then list my properties on the high end of whatever I think fair market rent is.

But before I give you my play-by-play, let me first overview what this concept includes for anyone new to property management or owning rental properties. 

Contracting and subcontracting services, like plumbing, generally don’t count unless tied directly to real estate you own.Are you considering acquiring rental properties or engaging in real estate development where you would personally manage or oversee those properties?

I could start with properties in New Orleans or Baton Rouge.

I aim to generate leads and spread awareness that a property is for sale.
