It sound like you have your area under control. 

Additionally, the STR market is quite oversaturated right now as well

Aloha @Keith Barham, yes its geared for Lenders and Agents, however,  it works well for Real Estate Investors too! 

You are correct that putting 3.5% down on a fourplex likely won't cash flow after one year.

If this keeps reciprocating well with the community, I'll keep doing them.

We had success in summerlin with insurance company paying .. over a 24 month period we had 3 tenants   fair market rent at the time was about 2200 or so non furnished.. we got 4100.00I did not like the turnover so I put it up as furnished rental and got 3500 and its going into its second year with a superb tenant. so seems like a happy medium for us.. 

I ended up entrusting five properties to their management, and I know of two other out-of-state investors who used them as well.

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”

Doesn't sound like it makes sense.

I am aware of companies like Pad Split, but would prefer to have a more traditional company overseeing the day to day since I am out of state the majority of the year.
