Rentvine's excellent customer service spoils me, and I can't imagine using software with lousy customer service. 

Both are excellent.  

@Eric Hrlbock Excellent !

Still, we appreciate you and the entire REI team for your support and excellent service.  

They are excellent at what they do.

Crossing the lines may not provide proper liability protection.Personally, I just kept my SF rentals in my name and got excellent insurance coverage, $500K per property plus a $2M umbrella.

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.

Hi Jon from Boyertown, PA-You and your fiancé are interested in buying your first short-term rental and wonder profitable areas to purchase with a budget up to $500,000.I would look at places along the west coast of Michigan, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and near Ann Arbor, MI.It is important to understand the local STR regulations in each community and partner with a property management company that can help your navigate that and manage it well for an excellent guest experience.Don't forget to look into bonus depreciation and doing a cost segregation study to increase the tax benefits of ownership and if you "materially participate" in the management of the property per IRS guidelines it can offset active W-2 income which most real estate cannot.To Your Success!

Evictions are an excellent way to take a decent investment and make it a nightmare.
