@Cole Bossert I think @Sarah Kensinger and others have touched on the biggest qualities, especially communication.

I have been kicked out of every form of communication relating to this deal.

Either way, clear communication with the guests about who’s managing the property is key to keeping reviews and satisfaction high.Permit Timing:The permit delay makes things tougher, but if you buy the furniture and keep future bookings, you might be able to use that time to update décor piece by piece without fully shutting down operations.

Next, plan on inspecting your properties every 90 days; you can communicate this to the tenant as you ensuring the property is in good order and to help you plan for repairs/future improvements. 

And as of now I've listed myself direct with Zillow and other platforms.I'm now weary as to whether I want to carry on down this journey for the property management.I only have 1 SFH so I don't need much, mostly just wanting to streamline how I communicate and manage the property. drop rentredi asap. 

Unfortunately, my experience has been problematic, to put it mildly:* Communication: There were significant communication issues, including difficulty scheduling calls, which is still an ongoing problem.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

Communication is key and transparency is something call centers do not offer.If you ever have any questions or want to network feel free to reach out or send me an email.

Lendbase’s communication was terrible and delayed.

They handle everything—guest communication, pricing optimization, cleaning coordination, and maintenance—allowing you to focus on scaling or other priorities.While you pay a percentage of your revenue, the time and stress saved often outweigh the cost, especially with larger portfolios.
