That's probably what I'd do first unless you just have no experience doing these deals at all. 

I personally do not have experience managing rentals.

With flip loans, experience is key.

Does anyone have any referrals for property managers in the Los Angeles area who specialize/ have experience in mid term rentals? 

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

I took the Airbnb bookings and now I'm around 80/20 Airbnb/VRBO.Based on a recent bad experience that I had with Airbnb (it's a separate thread out here), I called VRBO and asked them how I can get more booking requests from VRBO. 

Everyone is there to learn and connect, and everyone started out with no experience. 

It is aweome living in Idaho, and sounds like you have had a lot of great memories and experiences here.

My actual experience has been very varied.
