I would regularly update your photos to reflect seasonal changes or recent upgrades, ensuring they are high-quality and well-lit.

You’ll need a decent printer, quality paper, envelopes, and time to process everything, plus the patience for repetitive tasks.Outsourcing, while more expensive, saves a ton of time and ensures a professional look.

I suggest you look for clarity on what resources you can use or companies can assist in using a small piece of that equity as a downpayment on another high-quality asset like the one you already own.

I can't speak to the quality of his course though as I've never taken it.

Throw in some extra costs like moving expenses, professional photos (a cost the STR PM may also need to pay depending on the quality of the existing photos), renter's and lessor's insurance and a listing on furnishedfinder to round out some of the start-up costs.

@Scott ChampionRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Zillow likely uses survey results to improve the renter experience and listing quality.

Outstanding mindset & advice!

Whether it's mold, COVID, or a non-paying renter, a quality PM acts quickly and decisively to protect people, property, and the landlord.If you feel the PM was negligent in their response, you can file a complaint with the state commission.

Quality contractors already have their plate full .
