We hear that a lot of investors in the area make a killing in that segment but were just not confident pulling the trigger and going that route.How has dealing with Airbnb or furnished finders been?

@Joel Oh- if you are using a loan to acquire the property - the lender  requires  insurance ....if you own the property  free and  clear - your  choice  but I would still  recommend  insurance 

Feel free to DM me. 

Property management is a tough business and thankless at times for the PM company itself.Tenants complaining things aren't fixed quickly enough and landlords complaining things are costing too much to fix lolAnd then you have the constant hiring, firing and babysitting of the maintenance personnel.Reviews and referrals would be your best bet.Read what both landlords and tenants are saying and how the property manager is replying.IMO, any property manager with a 4 star rating or better is doing really well.You will find many decent property managers having between 3-4 stars.Again, it's a tough gig as folks rarely leave a good review when you perform but are super quick on the trigger for $#@% review even for the smallest issues.Wishing you much success 🙏

My goal is to be financially free and ultimately leave my W2 through scaling rental properties to manage/invest full time.

Hello there, friends - I'm interested in getting licensed as a Mortgage Loan Officer, but I'd love to run a few questions by someone (or multiple folks) who already have boots on the ground in the industry to get some firsthand perspective before I pull the trigger.

You get that "tax-free, clean slate."  

Put it on the market, take your (up to) $500k tax free gain and buy a no attachment rental if you want.
