The STR market here has become way more saturated and competitive especially in San Juan. 

This will allow you to enter the market earlier with funds saved up.

Depends on the market!

Not that I am aware of, but I am not aware of all softwares on the market. 

Are you investing in your local market?

Are they at market rent, or locked into below-market rates?

Recently, our real estate agent did a market analysis and estimates we can sell for between $575K-$585K, resulting in a net gain after all of our fees of about $100K.

It’s probably not that you’re “small potatoes” to your PM, but more a reflection of the nature of the market itself—low rents, properties with higher maintenance needs, and tenant issues.These factors make properties in these neighborhoods more difficult to manage and generally less profitable for property managers.

I can say that with Phoenix, a multitude of opportunities can be in store for you if you invest in their market, network, or even just want to get familiar with it.What type of real estate are you into: fix & flips, buy & hold, multi-family, or something else?

I’m brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience.
