I couldn't imagine managing a property from out of state unless you had an extremely strong team of people in your market to help with showings, inspections, repairs, etc.

Except I didn't get sued by the Marion County Health Department; my timelines and the people are the same...

Guesty seems to steer users toward the upgraded connection but I wonder if the standard results in less issues...does anyone out there have experience using both? 

If she paid other people, you basically hired her as a GC.

Based on researches I have done, many people like investing in Orlando FL right now so I was looking there for now.

I was wondering if I should use my own money or maybe use the rental equity instead... or there's even a better option.

Wondering what would be the best option to list a 1031 aside from the MLS.

As @Charles Carillo said, you can make the most of that time, but most people just waste the 4-5 years and then end up doing something unrelated to their degree field anyway.Maybe look into a Trade School, like an electrical one....nice clean work that pays really well.

I was wondering if anyone had clear SOPs written out for the property management side of things that I may be able to reference?

Most people don't keep good books anyway.
