Great tips and after reading this I had wished that I had hired property managers for my rental properties more than I did over the years. I would have had fewer headaches, that is for sure. Also I was lucky to begin in a local market that had a low supply of housing with high demand. I am not sure I would invest in the same local market today since that equation has inverted. Now I would suggest that investors get to know their potential market first, before they invest, so they have better odds of keeping their units filled with quality tenants. Again, great read and resources.
