So, communication and assignment issues, as well as not being able to explain the maintenance issues and the required work.3) Proper documentation and quality of work issues.

If you’re doing updates to a property, they can provide you with a list of qualifications to help your property be more energy efficient maximizing tax deductions.

I would generally agree that managing more units under one roof does create some efficiencies. 

I think communication seems to be the issue here especially with your comment on how the PM is unresponsive.

Last time I used them it was quick responses and communication and now I cannot get in touch with them is anyone else having this experience?

There is a 1 bed efficiency guest house on the same lot that we have just listed as an STR.

There were a few hiccups which were resolved quickly and communication has been good overall. 

Communication is highly important to me as well. 

Tax-deferred strategies like 1031 exchanges and refinancing allow further tax-efficient wealth building.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.
