Your best bet would be to connect with local operators and ask them.

After joining a Facebook group for local STR owners, and talking to all the major PMs in the area, I concluded that in the time vs money war, I was going with this particular PM. 

There is no other local affordable housing in the area.

I live in Tacoma, WA…a lot of folks don’t want to deal with having to learn the local housing laws.

My first ad budget was $295.00 credit I got from my local news paper. 

For example, there are many local credit unions that offer loans with as little as 5% down on multiple investment properties with no PMI.

For example, you might leave $10,000–$25,000 in the deal, end up with a $3,000 monthly payment, and only collect $3,000 (or slightly less) in rent.This applies to my local market and primarily to Class B or higher real estate.You’re better off finding a solid property that needs only light cosmetic work (e.g., paint, flooring, or perhaps a kitchen or bathroom remodel), buying it at a decent discount, and putting down at least 25%.

I do all of this remotely, so I use the above process to filter out 90% of the properties and then send the other 10% to my local team for verification.

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

Their contribution depends on factors like local demand for ADUs, their design and size, and how they’re used (e.g., rental income potential).
