Phil,A good property manager is worth their weight in gold.

And you make your real money when  you sell the brokerage to a national company that wants the bodies.. much like being in the wine business on the west coast don't make any money running the Winery you make your money when you sell to the next person.

Most states require you to either have an address where a live body can receive legal papers served 5 days a week during normal business hours or have a registered agent, not a mail box. 

Scammers can hide behind e-mail, and phone calls, but video you can watch how they answer questions with their eyes and body language.I really do not know how people that consider doing this kind of stuff to people go to bed at night.No legal advice given.

Anyone who goes through it the right way has a better chance of being a responsible pet owner.Set a weight limit and charge a pet fee (not deposit.)

Try it, the Association has a voting body.

Plus, let's be honest... if a bad landlord wanted a bad tenant out why not lie and say they are great... get's the tenant gone much faster than the truth.Credit history would carry more weight than landlord check.... 

The taxing bodies each have to approve the offer, which taxes time, but they are only legally allowed to say no to the offer if I owe delinquent taxes or have had my landlording license revoked in that municipality.

Hello BP, my vacation rental is by or on a body of water, I'm allowing the use of my Kayaks, is there any type of Liability Insurance I should purchase?

I think a good tenant is worth their weight in gold.
