Best way to prevent: select better tenants...yes that is not always the case but it helps.$2.5K additional lost rent due to 4 month instead of 2 month property turnLoss rent on Small Multi-Family properties minimal unless you had to evict.  

Additionally the facebook group here should lend some guidance: https://www.facebook.com/group...If you're going the paid route here are the things I would consider:There are a lot of SEO companies and courses out there and I encourage you to do your own research and due diligence while selecting one by looking at their results with existing clients.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Property management is an art not a science and requires someone with experience and intuition that knows how to evaluate the total picture, not just look at a credit score.

As a model, Techvestor syndicates (uses investor funds) to acquire, fit-out and operate short-term rental properties for profit in select markets across the US. 

When I apply for the business bank accounts, I give them my LLC's EIN and also my own SSN as the owner and their form asked me if this LLC will be taxed as sole prop or corporation and I selected sole prop.

My focus when selecting properties is to buy only those that my target tenant segment is willing and able to rent.

I still have to see what's happening with utilities, but right now it would cashflow anywhere from $150-$300 (depending on the loan type and DP we select) with a CoC ROI between 9.9%-10.8% (lower than some other options we're looking at, but it already has tenants...)Thoughts?

Interior wise, I really like framed wall art.
