So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

However, due to very, very high cost of living in Silicon Valley, and difficulty buying a reasonably sized home, and given I will remain in Bay Area long term most likely (family all here), also need a property appreciation strategy to some extent, too.

From my research, it seems like a good ARV is 60 - 80k depending on the size and quality of repairs.Shreveport in general is a steady community.

They’ll handle everything from tenant screening to maintenance, allowing you to stay focused on your practice.

You want a service that provides a full credit report, full criminal, identity verification, etc.Then it would help if you had clear screening criteria.

At most, while getting approved for the next loan, underwriters might ask you a series of additional questions as to why you're moving especially if the new unit is relatively the same size, area, value. 

We focus on two main data points:1) The pending to listed ratio for newly built homes sized between 1,400-2,400sqft.2) The pending to listed ratio for newly built homes listed between $250K-$475K.

Hey @Jordan Dzubak, so a quick look on VRBO showed quite a few rentals on the lake.The average nightly rates is highly variable but that is dependent on size and location of course.What you can do is drill down on VRBO and AirBNB to see what is out there.

@Solen KebedeTo manage a house-sharing property effectively, establish clear communication channels with tenants, automate rent collection, create a solid lease agreement, have a local support system, screen tenants thoroughly, use remote management technology, plan for vacancies, consider professional management, and prepare for your move.

But, It’s truly is one of the three reasons I use a PM for the rest  1) I don’t want to screen, I don’t really like meeting new people.2) I want to stay legal in my screening, notices, demands, etc etc3) They raise rents more and faster than I would and collect more in late fees.They literally pay for themselves with increased rent/fees and I get the legal and people screening for free.
