I really need to use a property management company.

Oh god, I can only imagine the horror involved with managing a Section 8 tenant in a landlord hating state like California.

She is going to manage my property via her LLC.

I'm and experienced STR owner and manager and multifamily owner operator, so I know about 28 day minimums, local regulations, underwriting, insurance etc.

Net rent has more than doubled and management has been a breeze.

@Beth AndersonWhen considering house hacking a property, it is important to carefully evaluate its financial viability and make sure that you can comfortably manage the mortgage payments without depending solely on rental income.

This should include details about your investment strategy, expected capital injection, risk management measures, and potential ROI.Networking Events and Meetups: While leveraging online platforms, don't overlook the power of face-to-face interactions.

If you are self managing you need to know where all the GFIs are and where the breakers are.

If the property is owned by you personally, use a personal account unless you have an agreement where the LLC is the property management company.

Your success here reflects well on your management and the property's appeal.
