For my long term rentals, I was perfectly satisfied handing the job over to a property management firm.

My primary short-term goal is a profitable start, not extreme DIY value maximization in the perfect deal.

It's not perfect but got me started.

Even for rent/sale listings in urban zips phone rings off the hook and even ppl go by knocking asking if the garage is for rent or rent-to-own and so on since would be perfect for 'GROW UP'.They are even blunt about how the biz is and will split generous profits.  

Everyone wants a pinterest-perfect wedding, but not everyone wants to shell out $4k just for the space.The last puzzle piece to the price is that wedding parties can be some of the neediest customers to work with, and it's not like you're going to get a lot of repeat business.

If you are looking for the perfect numbers to fit, the house itself won't be perfect for you.

The turn-key model is the perfect fit for these investors because they have full time jobs and need a team who handles their investments.Most serious investors I meet are looking for an effortless investment and the best way to achieve that is to go with an established turn-key provider who has their best interest in mind. 

Lowes has a perfect tile and it comes in a nice thin plank for diy setters as well as the big 12x24, which aren't that hard just don't do a 50% offset, AND it has bullnose tiles for edges.

If you're super outgoing, charismatic and attractive, sales could be perfect for you.  

I think 1031 is out of the question since the timing would have to be unbelievably perfect for it to work and I risk having to pay the tax anyways.I spoke with the realtor and then I spoke with my accountant again, and I think I'm going to just sit on it for now.
