It does seem competitively priced for the area.If anyone has insights into how the existing HELOC might impact the mortgage assumption or tips for negotiating on a deal like this, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Any tips or resources are appreciated.

However, with the frequent incidents and the persistent odor, even after cleaning, I’m beginning to wonder if this has become the norm for STRs in urban areas.Any advice or tips on how to prevent this would be greatly appreciated!

Quote from @Gabriel Juarez: I’m turning 20, any tips for anything to do with real estate?

Yes, what others have said about GfH's customer service is right: it's challenging, but I'm grandfathered into pricing that makes it a tough sell to switch and with (still) 98% of their solution's capability available right in their mobile app it's still a compelling option for smaller portfolios.

If you want to get a weekly dose of STR info I highly recommend signing up for Garrett's STR news that is emailed weekly, here's how to do that - https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/BiggerPockets-free-Short-T...Keep us updated on what you decide and how things turn out!

Anyone have tips for finding them and how to structure the deal to become lucrative for them as well?

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Thanks for the tips @Mindy Nicol, I do think MTR would be easier to manage for me allthough I do have time for a part time job, I see where you are coming from with repair costs and all and STR sounds like it can be a pain (I followed a few groups on facebook and have read horror stories :D ). 

Great tip.
