Trying to run a successful PMC is difficult but trying to run multiple companies - VR, Annual, cleaning, and landscaping is probably going to give you an aneurism.

Large sponsors have multiple offerings open at a time so investors can choose a property type that fits their goals.

With multiple units, you’re less exposed to vacancy risk—if one tenant moves out, you still have income from the others.If you’re leaning toward long-term buy-and-hold, multifamily might align better with your strategy.

I’ve received multiple quotes from insurance companies (mainly I would obtain the quotes myself).

@Harrison Jones  One of the major flaws in your perspective is that it is focused on cheap rent (driving rents down) not affordable housing.

It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when researching multiple markets.Would greatly appreciate any advice/insights from experienced investors who've navigated these challenges :- How do you approach understanding and evaluating short-term rental regulations when considering a new market?

The sooner you use a system like this, the easier it will be to keep track of it all when you have multiple properties. 

I’ve worked for some group home providers where they employ a maintenance worker who handles some of these issues (usually if the have multiple homes in a specific geographic location) and I’ve worked for homes where the handiest employee fixes things and that option doesn’t always have the best outcomes.

The insights shared by the Realtors, @Zeke Liston, @Jimmy Lieu, @Nathan Gesner, @Samuel Diouf, @Sam McCormack, @Min Zhang provide a solid foundation for anyone starting out in this industry.From a property management perspective, it's great to see you're considering the long-term rental strategy.

I am also considering multiple rentals and it appears that I have found a pretty good property manager based on feedback I have.
