I agree. 

I would kick the tires because it seems like it could be great.Thank you so much for the response I agree with everything you said here.

A good agent can help reduce your risk, and that may be worth the 3%.I do agree with Andrew, if your agent hasn't helped you find the deal, nor has he/she provided representation/consultation throughout this deal, you shouldn't feel obligated to provide a commission to them (pending what it says in your existing agreement, of course).

Because I agree with what you said.

I don't agree with your lender that you have to live in the property if you are using a conventional loan, but depends on what product they are giving you, maybe a work around for that.I would not purchase based solely on what income you can derive from STR.

I agree—most of these individuals aren’t paying taxes and aren’t typically aiming to own the property.

I agree with @Tracy Streich, buy a digital key pad for the door.

Agreed.

There are so many misconceptions about what a property management company "should do"  The fact is, if it isn't in the management agreement, they aren't responsible to do it.I agree if they're not being truthful about contacting the electrician etc that doesn't foster trust in the relationship. 

I definitely agree with learning how to manage your investments.
