I have been getting updates / communcation on my properties, but also after one year I'm on my third service advisor due to internal org changes. 

(we charge the same Processing Fee as depositing to our bank)4) Pay online using their tenant portal (we absorb the small fee, to encourage this behavior as the internal resources saved more than cover that fee)We understand we have scales of efficiency a DIY landlord won't.

But its your folks call on that one..  

Called a few Foremost agents in NYC and either no pickup or don't do over 3 units. :( :( 

I rarely get any calls and never got any of these top 10.

Sounds like internal accountability is really important to you!

Start anywhere—offer to assist, intern, whatever it takes—and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

We will shop for used appliances where we can when we need one… or pick up used cabinets if we can, or search eBay for something smaller,  but going to the extreme of personally shipping something big in internationally for one-off renovation needs seems like a stretch of reasonable.Just like you mention, the number of unknowns would not seem to be worth it to me.Just my 2 cents.Randy  

While I agree that the STR market has matured and margins are compressing, I don’t think this is a universal truth especially for Americans buying in international markets like Germany.
