And there is a lot of superior options out there in both product and methodology. 

Quote from @Joseph Sakic: Choose your hard.Do your research to find a quality PM.

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

In my experience, most have limited product offerings.

I firmly believe that thoughtful architecture isn't just about aesthetics; it's a strategic tool that can enhance property value, attract quality tenants, and optimize returns.

These companies selling products tend to drain agents dry at these conventions selling every do dad that is supposed to give them an edge over everybody else.

Below is some copy & paste info about our methodology:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Quote from @Alex Patton: I know there are hundreds (thousands probably) of lenders out there that offer a DSCR product.

While I do believe that some of the posters on BP are able to do a quality job self managing their portfolio of STR properties, they are spending a lot more time doing it than they’d like to admit.10 years ago in many markets STR provided outsized returns.  

This is extremely unfortunate and I think the name does not match their product, but there will be many others out there that do the same - so what can we take and learn from this as well?
