I'm especially interested in hearing about how you've made a PMS geared more toward STRs work with MTR billing and leasing.I do remote operations support for an MTR/LTR company in Denver and am assisting with our tech stack build out. 

I have a short term rental that I self manage and am considered a real estate professional based on material participation rules.  

If there is a property manager, your success rate is going to be very low.   

I think the $60 fee is per property they own and manage.

I occasionally get requests to manage commercial and love to have a referral source.

@Greg O'Brien - Do you mind sharing your company details? 

My property manager says there was no indication that the tenants are at fault.

A broker who can also deliver a reputable management company (themselves or an independent company) willing to take over management at closing is a real plus for any residential rental investment.
