I'll add that you must manage yourself for at least a year (all four seasons, etc.) to have a real understanding of what you want done and how much you would value what is offered by STR PM.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Mark S.Which offering were you invested in? 

We see that the U.S. market offers more financing options and greater flexibility compared to Europe.

I can offer both conventional (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) and government (FHA, VA, USDA) options to help make it happen! 

Many other firms offer the same knowledge at a fraction of the cost because they don't have office overhead or tons of highly paid employees to float.

would love to connect and see if i can offer any help

You've signed up for one PIA if the owner is still in the house.One way to tippie toe into this is to hook up with short sale agents and start working with them offering to door knock the NOD folks.

The seller is offering seller financing at 2% interest with a 9-year balloon.
