Once you are able to build your own system you could let the PM go and deal yourself.

If using a property manager, is it appropriate to have a property manager install cameras (or other security systems) on your behalf or is it recommended to work directly with tenants?

The key is to have as much in place as possible to get your systems down.

It is well documented there is a ton of money in the system so having solid real assets is a great hedge on the inflation here/coming.

I do have to recommission the septic system for about $1K and will cut that some by redoing the spray lines myself.

I gave my tenant instructions to download the sprinkler system app and to adjust the watering.

However, I believe there are things we could do better by improving our systems. 

And be aware: if somebody offers you off market deals, those are not off market anymore 😉 also, make sure you delve in the Dutch system.

For example, an extra egress or a sprinkler system. 

I work in lead generation for an international ecommerce company.I use AI and semi-automated systems to identify and contact prospective leads for my clients business.So, I have a plan... to use my leadgen knowledge and systems to source commercial property for investors.And one day I hope to make enough to purchase my own dream property, a small farm not to far from the sea is my goal.
