The meet up I went to a number of times in San Antonio was more for the benefit of the owner of the meet up.

However the owner comes from corporate world and they started out doing deep dives into markets and moving Hedgefund type portfolios between large investors.. they then decided to offer there service to smaller turnkey type and one offs..

For people that want to close and make it pretty/official/permitted/etc once they are owners, the question is "what is the cheapest way we can get this to pass an appraisal without the appraiser calling for a licensed/bonded/professional/whatever to fix things prior to closing?"

For example in many jurisdictions I can STR units in a duplex but cannot STR an ADU (some jurisdictions will let you STR if you owner occupy).

Your not getting any STR properties via arbitrage your just managing someone else's property and the owner is getting most of the benefit. 

And if its commercial your not hamstrung with all the rules laws regs that buying owner occ paper has.So hopefully those considering these types of investments will look further than U tube and who the sponsor is and what is the reality of saving the collateral..

We’ve bought 150+ units in Jax that we owned and managed, we still own 51 units and we also manage for other owners.

Charge $35/month per pet?

I'm a STR owner / manager located in Texas (Bryan /College Station, TX specifically.) 

We had a client that bought in Port huron and then ended up selling their property because they went through 3 PMCs and gave up trying to find a great one:(Some copy and paste advice below:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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.
