We have been trying to work with Vacasa to manage it as a short term rental but we keep running into issues with their final inspection. 

currently have just over $1m to use and am looking at diversifying between a personal real estate rental property to get that 1% monthly rtp, a commercial developer fund that yields 8% a year and 4% after they sell (roughly 4 years after investing), and a managed fund that is liquid and yields 5.5%.  

I'm in property management and I agree that two weeks might not be too long in your market.

Looking at maintenance through the lens of a property manager what do you do when it comes to faulty windows, roof, and other exterior problems?
