If the property manager uses a payment app integrated with the property management software to collect rent for the landlord, this is not gross income for the property manager.

I am looking for some feedback from others on their success/feedback on unique STR properties.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

Soon I'll be purchasing my first ever investment property (Virginia) (MFH) and I honestly feel like I made a mistake.

Those are very very important to run the property cost-efficiently. 

Quote from @Mitchell Coles: In Ohio, property liens are typically recorded at the county level, making the County Recorder's Office a valuable resource for property research.

Especially on a rental property. 

Has your property been improved by getting the WH?

My budget for the property is up to $200K.
