I think they're probably a decent PM but sympathize now (that I have experience) it's genuinely difficult to find high-quality and consistent cleaning, as well as steady workers that don't come and go, here in the Colorado mountains.

probably a wholesale company.. get a second opinion from a local RE agent so you dont get hosed. 

If it's just a place to lay the head in whatever random place, probably not all that much value to it, right. 

Also, I was thinking about it and I think if you were going to make shared amenities (like fire pit) you probably would be very successful doing that strategy I mentioned for larger listings.For big dates I would have one listing that is both the primary and ADU that sleeps 12+, or whatever the number is, and then you can have the ADU and primary again as separate listings for the rest of time. 

And probably not to an investor.

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

@Jordyn Ohsnot enough info to helpbut if you're using a HELOC for the down payment AND getting a loan, then you're probably negative cash flow given that's 100% leveragei would never do that unless i were going to refinance in the short term

Be sure your lender is comfortable with this, as many fear giving folks primary loans for properties they view as having a high probability of being turned into a purely investment.

I was surprised (they were probably 15 years old at the time, out in the weather 24/7, and different owners have different tastes).

You'll have to keep escalating this to get it resolved as the national PMC you hired is probably using poorly trained VAs who don't know/care/authorized to fix the problem.What do you mean about the, "undisclosed maintenance markup fees"?
