Quote from @Jodi-Ann Birch: Good day, I recently purchase an investment property in Flint and need recommendations for good property managers Go to the top of BP's toolbar and click the property manager tab

This can help prevent potential conflicts down the line.

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. 

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. 

Before you even get to terms, the investor needs to understand the risk they are getting into.
