Even in a perfect market with low interest rates and high resale numbers, and the perfect Contractors and Property Managers.....

I would basically do what this owner is currently doing, which is more or less property management.

MANY self-managing landlords violate Florida law and don't even realize it... they just get away with it because the tenants don't know. 

First property has been renovated, leased, and managed in line with all timelines and expectations.

I am curious what expenses others pay through their property management LLC on behalf of their rental properties.  

(He does some levels of property management and knows everyone).

If the home sales start to increase it would be around late 2025 so by early to mid 2026 that would be your window to refinance and pull out some equity.You would probably see the rental market increase by late 2024 as the initial plant managers and workers move to set up shop. 

I've seen property managers charge a % or flat fee to do project management or coordinating multiple vendors for say a make ready repair turn.

Collaborating with local real estate agents or property managers can offer valuable advice and support.Good luck!

If you're struggling to handle tenant issues on your own, don't hesitate to reach out to a local property management expert who can take over the management of your rental property and help you earn a passive income!
