.: Quote from @Bryce Cutler: Sri, I am in the process of switching from Hostaway to Hostfully for my 5 listings.

This was found off market, we have developed a process to find off market deals.

Keep an eye on those delinquency rates and ensure that the property manager is proactive in rent collection.Maintaining open lines of communication with property managers is also part of the process.

If you have hired a specialist to perform a cost segregation study of your real estate property, they will likely use one of the six most common methodologies recognized by the IRS.

Maybe hire a licensed appraiser? 

I will note though that lots of people manage multiple rentals without hiring a STR management company (myself included).

Ourcurrent approach involves identifying possible contact information for thelisted owners and calling multiple numbers, but this process is time-consumingand yields limited results.

This includes if the property does not close.Your agent should be holding your hand through this process.  

And I've even walked the heirs through the process.

The screening process plays a big role in the odds of collection.
