It is wise to consciously look for them early in the process.

So many investors thought we covid-conscious traveler's would prefer hotels over STRs because of standardized cleaning protocols in the hotel industry.

Give it to an agent, take the first decent offer, and JUST GET OUT.One of the main things I had to do to start getting ahead in this country was to consciously reject a middle-class mindset.

I am also conscious of the impact of climate change on our country's demographic and therefore do not feel confident about investing in Florida as I have read some urban planning research papers that predict in the long-term, half the state will be underwater along with Louisiana (20 years out).

while also being conscious of the heating bill since I pay.For uppers- in the past I have received calls about uppers being cold,  I'd like to minimize those calls if possibleparking- I am reinforcing the one vehicle per unit and also want to stress the importance of this  because if not the snow removal company may not be able to clear areaSnow removal- they work on their own schedule due to their workload clearance times may vary throughout the season Garbage- each unit has a trash and recycle bin 8 total, have had issues in the past about overflow/ not taking out to curb on collection night/ and using other bins any other tips for addressing this?

Outsourcing to a PM sounds like the path of lease resistance, but not without its own challenges.PROS of Outsourcing:Hands-off managementDon't have to worry about things like having to manage local staff (1 PM and 1 maintenance person) or possible employee turnover, which could create short to mid-term challenges to manage if we were living in another state and had to handle until a replacement was foundAbility to focus on growth and acquisitions and not daily managementAbility to be almost a fully "digital" operation rather than a "brick and mortar" management--although that sounds odd as real estate is very tangible and one of the reasons we initially focused on this assetCONS of Outsourcing:Afraid PM company won't be as cost-conscious with managing expenses and especially repair/maintenance costsOverall concern with PM keeping up on the condition and quality of buildings as they are nowGeneral concern that maintenance, including preventative maintenance items, will be not kept up as we do nowObviously the cost incurred to the PM company and mark-up to have them manage maintenance/repairs they generally chargeOur largest concerns mainly come down to how overall property maintenance, repairs, and larger capital expenses will be managed (i.e. what if there is a large flood on the 3rd floor apartment that floods down to the 1st floor, will a PM company be able to successfully remediate that in as least of time as possible and for the lowest cost?)
