It's my first deal I've worked on as an investor so I'll be actively marketing on BP and SM soon as I have it ready. 

@Andrea LeeRecommend 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.

Quote from @Greg Jeanfreau: @Vante Jay As with juat about everywhere else in the country The New Orleans market has many many active investors.

Only thing I can think to do is call Vrbo or Airbnb and explain the situation and see if they would allow you to create another account that maybe isn't active to use until the other accounts are shut down?

Turns out the Landlord entity, operating property, doing leases, doing all the activities, is themself leasing the properties on an enhanced NNN basis from a separate entity. 

I never investigated further.I always questioned his recommendations because at the price/rent point he was advocating, the maintenance/cap ex would consume too much of the rent unless actively self managed.  

We're now dancing around the 6000 total single family homes available which swings up as the weekends approach and new homes hit the market and retract below 6000 homes after the weekend and homes go under contract.There was a 3.2% increase in active listings from August to September, slightly lower than the June to July increase.

Due to the low amount I will owe to the hard money lender I want to get a HELOC to find and fund other deals but when I am not actively doing deals I want the cash flow.

It's also a great way to pass buildings down to your kids who want nothing to do with the active management business.

In fact many properties being shopped around by wholesalers are actually just expired MLS listings (properties that failed to sell on the MLS) or active MLS listings under contract by a wholesaler.
