I'm trying to figure out if I can get the consistency in MTR for the price I need to cover the mortgage. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Waco is a great rental market because there are so many blue collar jobs that provide consistent demand for housing (I have heard that 80% of homes in Waco-proper are non owner occupied) but there is a lack of white collar jobs that would keep Baylor graduates here or bring working professionals from Austin/Dallas. 

It performs better as a short-term, but it also took more work, sat vacant longer, and we had to worry about it more.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Year leases offer consistent income (less chance of vacancy), and tenants can plan to vacate after a year.

So far the high season is performing much better than the off season, but not as well as 2019, 2021, or 2022.  

If you get a lot of properties it would be fun to have the first tab pulling data for metrics on portfolio performance, monthly cash flow, expenses, etc.

Why should they care about the long-term tenant performance?
