Absolutely, starting as a leasing consultant can give you great insight into how rental markets work and what tenants look for.

To qualify, you have to prove actual day-to-day management or operations, not just investor-type oversight.Things like studying financials, preparing your own reports, monitoring money without being in a decision-making role, or having occasional consultations don’t count.

Suggest you monitor the media feedback during the NFL Draft this weekend - which we expect to be very positive!

After consulting with our contact at Airbnb, we were told they were ranking on page 13!!!

- How will you monitor quality of work?

Use a Wi-Fi lock, entry camera, and noise monitor so you can handle issues remotely.

For stand-alone houses with yards, I tend to either offer landscaping and grass cutting services as part of the rent, or I install solar powered cameras (connected to the resident's Wifi) that allows remote monitoring of the exterior - if they are handling their own lawncare.

We could handle two move outs at the same time, but when we hit three at the same time we would have loved to outsource it.We would also love to have someone else hire and monitor landscaping, all maintenance, verifying previous landlords and employment, or rent collection while we are out of town.

Passive investments are a farce.You invest actively, then keep systems in place to allow a proficient and diligent way of monitoring.

No value at needed at this time, but will continue to monitor to see if there’s different things I can do to enhance rent that will pay off in the near term.
