I know that I have to rely heavily on a solid property management company to not only maintain but to help find me deals as our relationship grows.

With 20 years of experience managing 30+ long-term rentals, a few STRs, and running a property management company in Central Florida, I’ve learned both have their place in a portfolio if you diversify based on your risk tolerance and the timing for your goals.

I will be furnishing one side for now and leasing to a mid term rental until i get a property management company that will work the property or get it leased out to students What was the outcome?

Make sure to do your due diligence when selecting a property management company to hire.

Look for growth in a new company or 2.

A few that sell and manage, or know management companies.
