. - After purchasing a home for what I feel was to much I am trying to determine the best route.

Have you come across any interesting models or success stories that could be applied more broadly across the state?

You need an agent who’s more than just a salesperson—someone who truly cares, understands your needs as an investor, and knows how to balance deductibles when to insure, and when it’s not worth the cost.

This can help prevent potential conflicts down the line.

We’ve told our renters that they’re still responsible for rent until through the duration of the lease term until we find new renters, to which they were surprised.

So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. 

To begin, I am considering renting my primary home because the loan is at a low interest rate, and the cash flow, based on comparable rentals in the area, is promising. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I don't rent directly to the individuals.
