While some property management companies may prefer to control the listing for operational convenience, it’s crucial that you, as the owner, retain ownership to safeguard your reviews, booking history, and overall control of the property.

Once it’s paid off or remodeled, it could become a fantastic rental property or your forever home, as you mentioned.

@Sherylyn Holden Fantastic to meet another SA native on BP!

Assuming you are not subject to rent control, file the Failure to Pay Rent form and start eviction proceedings.

My personal soapbox statement - Airbnb is an abusive spouse that slowly people are waking up to realize they are in a controling abusive relationship and they start to develop an escape plan (more platforms/direct website) so they are no longer relying on Airbnb.

The MTR was to get around the SFH becoming a 2 unit and under rent control with an LTR.

There still are fantastic deals and more will be hitting the market2.

You can have control and build a business, and learn hands on.

Hey @Ruth Reyes, I agree with both @John Underwood AND @James Carlson.I never really look hard at condo's due to the HOA fees and the fact that a controlling member can rule the roost.For example we almost bought a ski condo at the Inn of the 7th Mountain in Bend Oregon.

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years.
