I'd search for a quality PM focusing on STR's in your area, make sure they have good reviews and transparent pricing, and go with them.

How do you determine the quality of an opportunity?

If this isn’t the first step to building your real estate empire, sell and don’t look back.Owning a property which is netting -200/mo in quality location in a quality city isn’t terrible, but not ideal either.In your negative 200/mo are you accounting for pm fees, maintenance, capex and vacancy expenses?

My guess is there will be some i-buyer brokers that set a lower rate of 1% just like redfin did...all in all I noticed smart people see the value in a quality agent like Henry!

But, you can't determine quality by simply what they charge.....as there are plenty of terrible agents who also charge a lot.You'll need to determine what value they bring to you personally and do a cost benefit analysis of whether the cost is worth it to you or not.

Other than institutional lenders turning off the spigots in May of 2007, our single biggest exposure and source of most of our problems was the quality of the property management.  

I'm particularly interested in the life that real estate investing can provide for my family.Outside of real estate, I enjoy hard work, learning new skills that will help me in my journey to success, and of course spending quality time with my beautiful daughters.I am Excited to learn and connect with you all!

And even if the rate is prime plus a percent or two, it's still superior to private or hard money.

But to be honest, I'm not happy with zillow pre-screening (almost non-existent), and background check (lower quality).

@Jon L.Your questions 1 and 4 in the survey are not something a lot of investors would want to provide... breach of privacy etcFor your question in the post here about the most frustrating part, for me plenty of frustration around contractors... finding quality ones, finding ones that haven't taken on too much work to where they bring in inexperienced guys to cover their multiple jobs etc
