Hey mate,I'd advise against $50,000 houses unless you are full time on the ground.Turnkey houses for $50,000 tend to be in rougher parts.C or D class.High crime, lot's of volatility, boarded up homes, no upside from an appreciation standpoint, cars with no wheels lol and PM collects rents with a bullet proof vest and shot gun.Works well for some and the hustle is real.

We agreed on a section 8 tenant stabilization plan, and after their first full month of taking over, here's how we're doing: Total Properties: 11Total Rent To Collect: $10,240Historically, under Own It Detroit (Mutual Property Management) -- monthly totals of rent collected on the first and before the 5th was typically $1200 LogicPM has inherited tenants who for the past 6-8 months were told as long as payments come in before the end of the month, partial payments included, you're okay.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: It's not just about saving money IMHO...it's also about getting out from under their (Air and VRBO) control, regulations, cumbersome and guest friendly customer service et al... 

Who is responsible for the servicing costs and other costs.

Any recommendations / advise on pursuing a full scrape vs. mitigating damages after a house fire? 

Not sure if this is the correct Building Department, but it does say you can pull as a homeowner: https://www.phila.gov/services/permits-violations-licenses/a...

I want to serve them an eviction notice but I don’t have the full name of the tenant.

The truth of the matter is I have already 3 STR’s in Sacramento already and two full time jobs...

Full time vs. part time doesn't scare me as much.

Most professionals will at least talk to you and if they are good will tell you if their services are right for you.
