@Abrahm Dimmitt we found Deal Machine had a better user experience while driving.

I am basically a newbie but have some experience in a foreign country (Brazil).

Does anyone have experience with a property manager for a STR in the Ft.

When you specifically mentioned STR experience and the possibility of something with some added "personal value" bells started going off. 

It gives you one property that can potentially pay for itself while putting a roof over your head and giving you experience as a hands-on landlord.

I'm looking for a skilled sales rep who can help me connect with landlords in Florida (especially the Palm Bay area) and Georgia.If you're interested in collaborating, I'd love to chat more about how we can work together and what your experience is in real estate sales and landlord outreach.Let's connect soon!

My property is at the end. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

It is a frightening experience but if you have the right team in place you'll be confident in the property you chose to close with and it will go smoothly.
