To be honest (as a business owner myself) I have been surprised by the professionalism and communication skills of these lenders. 

Check references and reviews, and speak with other property owners they manage for.Clear Communication: Establish clear expectations and communication channels from the start.

I've personally communicated with the inspectors, and they are aware of how the tenant is trying to manipulate the situation.

The VA would need training on ins and outs, policies on your leasing, maintenance and all other items in order to properly handle, communicate with your tenants and prospect tenants.

Feel free to send me a private message and I'd be happy to show you what the numbers would look like selling through different channels. - Chris

We do have our account reconciliations audited by a 3rd party quarterly, which helps catch errors before they impact our clients.Highly recommend any owner dealing with a PMC discuss with their PMC and their tax professional, or an expert like @Sean O'Keefe, about how to improve processes and communications to make this process smoother:)

Communication was the key breakdown in my experience, but to Rob’s credit, he is working on improving things there in that regard.

I would list it on Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com as well...the more channels you can use to market your listing the better. 

Coordinating a same-day sale required precise timing and efficient communication.

As in how many followers you have on your YouTube channel or how many page hits you get on your web page.
