So that time element is important for me to consider. 

Accountability groups are a big selling point for me in this years BiggerPockets Momentum 2025 cohort.

Out-of-state investing makes the most sense for me—it’s impossible to cash flow anywhere near me, and moving wouldn’t make sense because I wouldn’t be able to earn the same wages or find the same kind of jobs.Before this purchase, I already owned two properties: a long-term rental outside Houston, Texas, and a short-term rental in the Sierras in California.

That said, TurboTenant and Baselane have worked together seamlessly for me. 

The losses would have spiraled out of control for me had I not been able to sell my second house immediately.I don't look back on my experience with any regrets since I know the risks we take playing this game. 

The tenant paying down that mortgage, the capital investment the financing made into the property, is a form of appreciation.

So have to make sure you interview beyond just asking the simple "can you do this for me". 

Posting goals here on this thread can help to act as a form of accountability. 

As far as their relation with the PM goes, the PM is the agent they used when buying the said rental, agent is local to Indianapolis, as for any form of PM agreement I do not know, it may be verbal, or they have a written agreement.Thanks in advance. 

It’s about the relationships you form.
