@David Smith I was lucky enough to get a proposal from TV host on spike TVs to handle operations via a management contract.

note if you did not have the cash to purchase via traditional Means, this could provide an option where few options exist.

They typically keep the entire amount.In our experience, many PMCs do NOT put rentals on their local MLS and so only charge 50% of one-month of rent - but they do NOT tell the owner this.2 years ago, when rentals (and sales) were happening in less than a week, this strategy may have worked, but with rental Days On Market increasing nationwide by 38% since 2022, it's becoming more important to list rentals on the MLS to increase exposure via getting agents involved.How's a PMC, only charging an owner a Placement Fee of 50% of a month's rent or less, going to compensate an agent that brings them an acceptable tenant AND cover the PMC's marketing costs?

.- overall "damage" is very minor as it will involve cleaning up after her, taking out her trash, and carpet cleaning throughout ($200) to get cat puke out of carpet- odd note was that she has a huge real Christmas tree which she left....who buys a Christmas tree if they intend to leave - confirmed via talking to her mother (emergency contact on my pet agreement) that she has moved to a new rental property- I have not filed the 3 days quit or cute as I'm concerned that the terminology indicates (perhaps I'm reading to far into it)that if she leaves the lease will be terminated.

Also now that the property was sold via HOA auction, they do not need to worry about SCRA since that borrower no longer owns the home.

The cashflow will not be substantial, and our personal savings will be slow to rebuild via the day jobs.Is this a good idea?

I registered our rentals with them and didn't get a hit although I have been getting inquires from other insurance companies via traditional listing sites.I'm happy to inform all of you that  after I posted  here that we are fully booked again and received multiple inquiries when I listed one unit at a lower rate until demand picks back up.Thank you all for your insights, they were very helpful.It was just the strangest thing, after bring fully booked with multiple properties since 2016 I guess there is just more competition and less demand so we really need to stand out.
