How you manage your properties in Indy?

This means any actions will have to flow through the GC and if the GC is not handling their contract management well (executing sub contracts, collecting their insurance certificates and paying the sub contractors timely),  you are going to eperience even less cooperation. 

I plan on using Stessa to manage my 1st property, I know most of you said it's not needed, but it's free and keeps everything simple for me.

and where do you wanna own/manage long term?

I'm not worried about the house selling or losing value; Well always worried but anticipate and manage costs and calculated risk. 

The people working at CMHA, who manage the process in my area, where very helpful when I did my first one and was going through the learning curve of getting my first tenant.

Yes, managing myself implementing the same self managing system which is in place for the other properties I already have to manage.

Spend 2-3 months really educating yourself on how to manage investments well (something most landlords never do) so your rental doesn't turn into a money pit.

Know good agents,  property managers. contractor that can walk the property.Etc.

Even then I would try to be half a block off Belair Rd but I have managed properties in that area and have not had many issues there.
