The previous leasing company confirmed the resident had paid their rent on time every time.

I'm not sure how to articulate it but, basically this bit of knowledge saves me a bunch of time and kind of surprised it hasn't come up in any of the books, articles, or videos I've been learning from.

My Vrbo account manager also said offering a 10% weekly discount helps.

I know a lot comes from time and connections so I've been focused on just learning the game as much as possible! 

I only have two more Spanish classes left to complete my degree, but since they must be taken consecutively, I have extra time on my hands.

I think a lot of times you get what you give - I've been a part of a couple during times where I really just wasn't spending time interacting, making posts, doing the assigned tasks, attending all the calls, etc.

For buyers, especially in the condo and townhome space, it’s time to take your time.

However, I'm starting to worry about managing these properties once I relocate.While cash flow is likely to break even or be slightly positive, paying 8-10% for a property manager would significantly eat into my margins.

I’m not looking to have an active membership with a realtor association at this time.

This would ideally include a video doorbell with an app that can manage both and see the cameras/recordings for both systems.
