If they are looking for space, they are required to advertise for bids, etc. and the whole process takes time.

Then I can advertise new flooring at turnover.

Its an online service that covers listing and advertising, rent collection and maintenance dispatch for a monthly subscription fee. 

We did not reduce the rent anymore and the property already rented at the price we advertised.

Long story short, we decided we want to manage it ourselves after they started the “advertising for the property.”

You think the owner should be responsible for paying to defend the management company against those allegations, not the company actually in charge of advertising, screening, and managing the tenants?

When you look at Florida as a whole for STR, you want to focus on the areas that have always survived and thrived on excess tourism.

(Granted, I realized after I created the verbal agreement on price with texts for proof and the lease that I didn't apply the discount I had advertised online.

Some work that comes to my mind is:1) Managing tenants to get rent paid2) Diagnosing a repair issue and getting the right team to make the fix3) Fielding messages from prospective tenants on advertised rentals4) This list goes on...I've found a company that automates rent collection and income/expense tracking for free, but I'd like to replace my property management portal altogether and feel I'm only half way there (certainly a tenant facing chat bot would close the gap).

Any investments in real estate that are advertised to the point that someone just getting started sees them are scams.
