I also own a water restoration and general maintenance business in the area and the amount of STR owners that we have spoken with is insane.  

Start with small goals, and soon enough, you'll find yourself turning away business.

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

I have questions about their business acumen though.

It's also good to read local business journals and visit the chamber of commerce website. 

I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

I'd like to meet the property management company and the business people(cleaning and handyman related) so I could paint a better picutre.Thank you for the info.

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).

This is why so many companies are leaving states like California.Pro-business environment: Companies want to focus on their core business, not fight anti-business policies.Significant infrastructure: Companies favor cities with substantial airports, freeway systems connecting to other cities, and more.

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.
