Entry is not low, right around 20% after down +closing and assignment. 

It is more difficult I think then managing separate rentals.  

Referrals is often what makes teams that manage from afar best.

I currently self manage an in-state property, but was curious what it “takes” to successfully manage an out-of-state one.

With repair costs rising and turnover times increasing, many are adjusting recommended reserves.Common answers I’m hearing:• $2,000–$3,000 per unit for single-family• 1–2 months of rent for multifamily• Additional reserves for older propertiesSome investors are also using short-term funding to cover heavier turnovers or larger repairs instead of draining reserves.Curious what property managers and self-managing landlords here recommend — what’s your reserve target per door in last quarter of 2025?

It's a miracle if I ever manage to actually speak to them on the phone.

The trick is finding pockets with strong resale demand, decent entry prices, and quick days on market.Teaming up with someone who already knows how to find and fund deals can definitely shorten your learning curve — that’s how a lot of newer investors get their first few wins.I work with investors throughout Florida on deal structure and funding, so I’ve seen what’s working right now.

Quote from @Christopher Tinelli: I’m working on getting my first doors under management and would love to hear from others about what worked best for them in the early days.

We would love to be your property manager.
