I'm trying to juggle this and some conference calls. hahahttps://docs.google.com/spread...Also, Account Closed thanks for contributing. 

Even though I had a full size W/D on site, I still used this method.....

We own and operate a mid size REI and property management company in Marquette Co. (~300 units or so). 

Find a few properties that are your closest competition (similar size, location, finishes).

Anything that you can do for free and that is good and accounts for 25+ hours, I say go for it. 

Start small and aim for properties that cash flow well, even after accounting for taxes, insurance, and repairs.Most importantly, keep taking action!

We have an accountant with a chart of accounts to manage everything but I do not see why you need one for operating expenses vs. income.

What if you lose your account?

Will they be doing other types of work like getting through the financing, becoming the guarantor, finding the deals, crunching the numbers, doing the accounting, or are they just simply doing less work?

I would just take into account that a lower down payment will mean a higher monthly payment so be sure to run the numbers conservatively in order to ensure your STR revenue is able to carry your monthly payment with this higher mortgage cost.
