I will not be conducting any business in MA just collecting checks as I will have a property manager managing the property in NY.

Are they looking for cash flow exclusively, moderate to high appreciation potential, or both, etc.Typically, with more “affordable” markets, you get better relative cash flow but also more intensive management concerns (vacancy, collection, maintenance, turnover, etc) and less appreciation.

What kinds of software have you used to manage your properties that you would recommend?

Also because your LTV is low, you have a relatively small amount of depreciation write-off to help with your taxes. 

I'm a broker, investor, and PM here in Sacramento -- we manage over 100 investment properties, mostly STR and MTR. 

I’m a relatively newer investor and am in the NWI market.

If I'm following this correctly, the 1st issue I see is that you have an "active" business (consulting) versus a "passive" business (the rental property, assuming you don't do hands on management, etc.)...this would be a separating line for many people I've talked to about this. 

If you run the income and expenses of the property through the LLC as a management company that may help your credit down the road.

Complete a rental verification, but it should not be from any family member or an individual, request there last apartment, or property management company as a rental verification.

I understand you can find information about analyzing deals for STRs and managing STRs on YouTube etc, but wondering if anyone has found a coaching program worth it?
