I do not have anything positive or negative to say about them. 

The general sentiment toward STR PM's seems to be a bit negative, but there are still a lot of management companies and for a good chunk of STR owners there seems to be a need for management services.

This makes more sense to us than relying strictly on  rigid yes or no criteria where any negative  disqualifies a candidate entirely.Some criteria is weighted more heavily and can overcome negatives. 

A negative profit Lessons learned?

So I looked at some local markets like Sacramento where I'm from and familiar with the neighborhoods but the cashflow would be so negative that I'd be paying out of pocket every month.Now I'm more inclined to buy a single family in KC as it seems the rates won't drop anytime soon so would like to get in the investment game sooner than later and hope for a rate drop in few years to refinance.I have been looking on Zillow, and recently connected to an agent to run numbers and seems I could make about $100-$300 after mortgage payment and insurance.

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

There are also other platforms that have had some significant negative things spoken about them.Peer Street is the larger of the two and has more volume, but the top deals are still snapped up really quickly.

You might be making limited "cashflow" but the depreciation is making you look negative --- that's normal.Just make sure you have enough income to offset. 

Since then we have moved out of the area and been renting it out for the past few years.We are slightly negative on cashflow, about $100 a month or so when you account for a 3rd party property management service and expected repairs etc.Our challenge here is the home is old.

I'm not negative on these areas.
