@Shiloh Lundahl I think you are hitting the nail on the head: these different strategies reflect our different personalities and personal preferences. 

I’m considering having a lawyer send them a certified letter, though I know that will still come with a significant fee, which is still preferable to full service.

I think Cozy will also work I just prefer the look and feel of the Simplifyem website better.

I had lots of time and little money.I recently purchased my first STR with a couple partners outside Memphis.

We have had challenges collecting a couple/few times from OTAs.  

We as a couple gained an interest in Real Estate while I was working for the contractor.

Couple of things:1.

We would prefer something that allows us to sleep peacefully at night.

It has accelerated quite substantially in the last couple of years due to Ontario and BC migration (both in people and capital).

Now you might be like Joe, know rents for a couple of neighborhoods and can quickly estimate expected cash flow from properties pretty quickly (that's what I do as well) but you still need a screening rule so you invest minimal times on properties you will never put an offer in on.
