I decided to self manage to make my rookie mistakes early ;)

Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for them to mail you the payment.

Your self management is you paying yourself to work on the rental.

I myself purchased a property that was only 45 minutes away without understanding the market completely and self managing.

Lenders are conservative and don't care that you will self-manage.
