The property is 45 minutes from where I live in a town that is growing and am very familiar with so I plan on doing most of the management work. 

Hey folks,Question for the medium term rental crew: how much time/effort does it take to self-manage a typical 1bd/1ba furnished MTR?

Things like valet trash, cable contract reimbursements, RUBs, common area expense budgeting, proper staffing levels, AI revenue management, PPMs, subscription agreements, blue sky filings, commercial lending standards, commercial building codes and permitting, ADA compliance, etc.  

I've been working as a marketer/ social media manager for four years.I'm new to real estate investment but have been educating myself with Bigger Pockets and books.

If I pulled to put on a rental property for around 200k then after property tax, property management, mortgage, insurance I’d probably be cash flowing much less than my 5.5% at the moment. 

How you manage your properties in Indy?

I plan on using Stessa to manage my 1st property, I know most of you said it's not needed, but it's free and keeps everything simple for me.

This means any actions will have to flow through the GC and if the GC is not handling their contract management well (executing sub contracts, collecting their insurance certificates and paying the sub contractors timely),  you are going to eperience even less cooperation. 

and where do you wanna own/manage long term?

I'm not worried about the house selling or losing value; Well always worried but anticipate and manage costs and calculated risk.
