We need to find a good app/website for them to send rent as well, preferably one that has many things built into it, making it more simple to manage things in one place.

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

Their insurance has asked me to return the month's payment for the remaining days of their rental (Unfortunately, I did not have a cancellation agreement).I am unsure how to handle this situation, especially since I couldn't fill the majority of the rental dates and had to offer discounts for the days I did manage to book.

A lot of landlords use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager, Apartments.com, or Avail to list vacancies and screen tenants.

I am currently living out of state so I have hired a property management company to handle this task, however, my home is still sitting vacant with very few prospective tenants.

It will give you an entirely different prospective on investing, time management, and economic outpatient care.

As a property manager, I also require landlords place me on their policy as "additional insured" and it extends some protections over to me.

Consider reaching out to a local Rental Owners Association to connect with experienced hosts, gain valuable insights, and access resources that can help you navigate property management more effectively.

It puts a face to management and allows to open doors for repairs if need be and makes them aware of who owns property now.
