They couldn’t handle the situation, and after months of frustration, I ended up dealing with the tenant directly to collect rent myself.RTR knew they’d messed up and even paid me some money as compensation, asking me not to post anything negative (which I’m clearly not doing).

Optimally, the lawyer or the firm should be familiar with public infrastructure that developers are typically asked to pay for, such as road widening, turning lanes, new roads, sanitary sewer extensions, new water and electric extensions, fire hydrants, etc.

We are considering renting both condos long term and hiring a rental management company to collect rent and manage. 

This is more tax efficient as the interest you collect would be subject to ordinary income (outside of an IRA, whereas in an IRA, there’d be no tax on this.

@Kevin Lorick are you getting a monthly Owner Statement showing how much they collected and what was deducted?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

However, I am seeking recommendations for the most effective tools and software for remotely managing my Airbnb properties, as I will not have a local short-term rental manager.Specifically, I am looking for software that can assist with property listing, pricing optimization, channel management, guest communication, and any other relevant aspects of property management.

@Patricia Via you do NOT have to accept cosigners, so if occupant can't qualify on their own, you can deny for income.The #1 question with cosigners is - how can you collect against them?

Make sure to collect the RPD and LBP from the sellers if possible.

Plus you’re optimizing for materials cost by reusing and buying some used stuff.
