Yes they sometimes get on the furniture, but we let the owners know that one of the ottoman's in the living room as a full compliment of furniture covers for all the couches and chairs.

This was his summary: The upside is the feeling of community. 

I’ll rent out the other units and use a property manager for the home, only because my day job will take up too much time to manage the property myself. 

If you are going to also conduct business in the outer boroughs, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland, then you'd need HGAR. 

I downloaded the BP lease agreement.

. - After purchasing a home for what I feel was to much I am trying to determine the best route.

We’ve told our renters that they’re still responsible for rent until through the duration of the lease term until we find new renters, to which they were surprised.

To begin, I am considering renting my primary home because the loan is at a low interest rate, and the cash flow, based on comparable rentals in the area, is promising. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team.
