Hi BP landlord community - My team and I are planning to launch a Do-it-yourself property management Alpha/Beta website in the upcoming weeks. Our first goal is to solve the biggest pain point in property management w...

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

My name is James Olinda, I have been traveling the USA in a DIY renovated Airstream for the past three years with my wife, baby girl and two pups, and it's been an incredible adventure.We just purchased a small piece of land, so we're invested in real estate and are laying the groundwork for more investments. 

In our first home, I finished 550 sf of the basement (for a play room for our kids) on my own, and we completed a DIY kitchen remodel shortly before selling in 2015.

I use professional software and have no need to research the DIY platforms.

We had our first child last year, and the DIY stuff that was so fun and rewarding before soon became "time away from the baby."  

I am drawn to turnkey for many of the reasons mentioned on this forum (spouse and I have full time jobs, kids, not interested in DIY).
