House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

Hello allI have been looking at some areas in Washington state and Str’s around Suncadia caught my eye but it seems there are some restrictions if you don’t use their in-house property management.

Look for a property manager.

I read that it was possible to create a PM company under an LLC and pay myself to manage the properties but then I would be subject to 15% Self Employment taxes.

The involvement of onsite management, often seen as a potential red flag, can lead to the property failing crucial qualification tests.

Let him run this (self-manage) for a year or so and see how everybody feels about it then.How does that sound?

I just received a message from my previous property manager for a rental condo I have in Orlando.

If vacant have a plan for how you will screen tenants or manage. 

With our backgrounds and experiences we feel confident that we could manage an RV park, but we have no experience in real estate investing or buying properties in general.

The preference would be anywhere within an hour or so drive of Woburn MA but I am having trouble finding deals that pencil out.
