You can find some generalized checklists of things to check from general condition, to how well all the locks work, condition of appliances, CO2 & smoke detectors, they're not smoking inside, nothing is broken, rules not being followed, etc.You can do this quarterly, bi-annual, or annual depending on how much you want to be over & ensure your property is good, as well as them properly taking care of it.You can also have any of your working order professionals take pictures throughout the period if have any Maintenance requests you need fulfilled & get their general thoughts on the condition of the home in its current condition (since it will be not as much of a notice & not cleaned/prepped to an official inspection)

I was able to relate every potential house back to time I spent over those 10 days.One of the neighborhoods I thought I was going to love turned out to be a major dud..so happy I tried the area out.I had my realtor go see the houses and FaceTime me when performing the walk through.I picked a house and came back out to AZ during the inspection period to make sure I was good with the house.It's a big investment...my advice is spend $4-5K on travel, have fun while your looking at houses, and then make sure you are 100% happy with the home during your due diligence period.  

A net listing is a type of real estate listing agreement where the seller specifies a minimum price they would like to receive from the sale, and any amount over that price is considered the real estate agent's commission. 

What benefit do they provide over just using an attorneyIf they are raising money are they licensed?

@John Cezar DimaanoWhen you are just starting, you really do not need to spend thousands on "setting up your business" and on your personal tax strategist.

Time spent working on you is most often the most valuable time you can spend.

I’m based in California now, but I built a 12-door rental portfolio in Detroit over the past few years, mostly through BRRRR deals.

That tells me things are down in the industry.Specific to the Smokies, it is far too early to give actual data on visitor counts to Sevier and Cocke County – we won’t see those until September and October – but our own business shows that we are off 13.7% for June over last year, and indicators for July are similar.

Houses are greatly over inflated –what goes up must go down, eventually – and it is coming.Metro AreaSalary NeededMedian Home PriceMonthly PaymentSan Jose$501,760$2,020,000$11,708San Francisco$338,427$1,320,000$7,897San Diego$257,190$1,036,500$6,001Los Angeles$218,483$862,600$5,098New York City$202,150$725,300$4,717Seattle$198,233$772,900$4,625Boston$194,593$734,000$4,541Washington, D.C.$166,814$630,900$3,892Miami$165,818$643,900$3,869Denver$161,935$647,800$3,778Riverside/San Bernardino$155,109$609,200$3,619Portland$151,963$591,200$3,546Sacramento$144,791$550,000$3,378Salt Lake City$138,012$556,500$3,220Austin$136,845$465,100$3,193Providence$135,721$492,700$3,167Phoenix$119,546$487,900$2,789Las Vegas$119,242$486,400$2,782Orlando$117,731$445,000$2,747Hartford$113,491$378,300$2,648Raleigh$113,466$443,900$2,648Dallas$113,069$377,900$2,638Richmond$112,951$446,300$2,636Chicago$110,038$371,500$2,568National$108,486$402,300$2,531Baltimore$106,969$393,000$2,496Tampa$106,903$400,000$2,494Minneapolis$106,442$388,100$2,484Nashville$105,831$417,600$2,469Milwaukee$105,477$388,100$2,461Philadelphia$105,118$363,000$2,453Jacksonville$104,718$390,000$2,443Charlotte$104,324$411,200$2,434Houston$100,142$337,400$2,337Atlanta$98,232$369,400$2,292Virginia Beach$92,269$350,200$2,153San Antonio$90,393$300,000$2,109Columbus$89,131$321,800$2,080Kansas City$88,913$328,700$2,075Indianapolis$81,918$316,200$1,911Birmingham$80,084$312,800$1,869Cincinnati$79,540$293,900$1,856New Orleans$78,572$291,000$1,833Buffalo$76,156$245,900$1,777Louisville$73,844$278,100$1,723St Louis$73,581$262,100$1,717Memphis$73,302$276,100$1,710Oklahoma City$73,052$258,800$1,705Detroit$72,296$254,200$1,687Pittsburgh$64,071$225,400$1,495Cleveland$63,611$213,200$1,484https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-salary-needed-to...So, I’m recommending that if you can’t get more rent than expenses, move on to the next opportunity.

Other than that there are a few small mom-&-pop places but I dont want to turn over my portfolio over to a new inexperienced company.
