Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

where do you operate? 

Does anyone represent a wholesale lender or is a broker that knows of a lender who finances commercial (multifamily) properties that operate as AIRBNBs?

I operated in Baltimore city for less than a year.

Board collected those funds and put them in Operating instead of Reserves.

Operating as short term rental by the bedroom, grossing $3500 - 5000/mo, between $500-1000 net.

Landlords mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact same services and operate the exact same way, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services.This also leads them to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

The other is a smaller operation which does a lot of business in the specific neighborhood the house is in.

If you can come in and operate effectively I think you'll find success rather quickly due to that.BTW - for a property management platform I would highly recommend Buildium.

I get into contract in my operating company and then assign the contract to the new LLC prior to closing.
