I did invest in Andy Mirza's company recently.

Got on the distribution list from a few local wholesaling companies... 

I have 2 other prospected properties that I also wanna turn into hubs.. and I'm starting a property management company to manage the tenants and I'll be marketing the hubs daily..

I believe with one that was 2 hours away I would at least think long and hard about some sort of property management company even if it was a hybrid solution.

Q2: Would it be better to hire a property management company to manage the house since we will be moving out of state?

Also, don't forget a good STR company wants to succeed as much as the owner.

As I see it I'm betting on the housing market, rental market, YoY tax increases, and insurance companies.

Who does these (not looking for specific companies), is it accountants, lawyers, agents, and/or contractors? 

I'm on the lookout for investor-friendly title companies and lawyers.

My property management company is willing to handle and manage the repairs (but since it'll be expensive I will likely want to go there so I can manage some of the repairs and pick out my materials).Out of the 3 options, this would come with the least amount of tax repercussions.Cons: Moderate stress.
