So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

I have experience handling this in Michigan with my short-term rental.

Their insurance has asked me to return the month's payment for the remaining days of their rental (Unfortunately, I did not have a cancellation agreement).I am unsure how to handle this situation, especially since I couldn't fill the majority of the rental dates and had to offer discounts for the days I did manage to book.

Things like this are why it's important to work with a professional who is well versed in real estate taxation because the "common/simple" strategies taught frequently like BRRR or house hacking actually get fairly complicated when it comes to handling it correctly. 

Speak to an attorney to handle this.

Makes sense, but still frustrating.How should I handle the move-out part and make my application strong enough to convince the lender?

For my situation I will be handling all of the properties myself.
