@Stacey OlsonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Readers should seek professional advice.

My approach is conservative and focused on finding properties that meet specific criteria to ensure solid returns.If you’re interested in multifamily investing and would like to explore potential partnership opportunities, feel free to reach out!

There is loans that cover the purchase and rehab so you could explore that.

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

Once you find someone willing to let you shadow them, approach it with professionalism and a willingness to learn.

Hello all,Has anyone sold a short term rental owned over a year  as a non real estate professional that qualified as short term capital gains tax deductions with expenses and depreciation?

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m exploring the idea of renting my 5-bedroom property in Tampa, Florida, to traveling nurses and could really use your advice! 

If your HOA would allow it, I'd definitely explore that since you'd be back in town for a few months out of the year. 

Would love to hear the community’s thoughts—especially from experienced landlords, property investors, or those who’ve explored fractional real estate investing before!
