I'm going to try to post snippets of things I've learned this past year as a way of paying it forward and gratitude for all I've learned and keep learning via this community. Today's lesson: why I won't use VRBO Pre-A...

If people took the five minutes to complete it they would not need to be asking and searching the internet for their answers. 

Would need more details on the deal, but this is something people could help out on.

Seems like a lot of people are recommended them here. 

Here's an example why:- One of our people made a mistake last year, and entered an expense of $1500 instead of $150 - they accidently typed an extra "0". - Fortunately, our transparent systems allowed the owner to catch it:)- Full transparency - we would have never caught this honest mistake:(An owner also needs to be involved to approve & fund large expenses: maintenance, property tax & insurance payments (if they want to be more hands off), evictions, etc.A great PMC should also have a chat with you annually about your future plans for a property and your portfolio. 

That will be a determining factor for where it makes sense for you to purchase.Regarding waiting - bear in mind a lot of people were predicting rates in 2024 would be in 5% range or low 6s, which didn't turn out to be the case.

Some people do believe that you cannot evict in winter.

These days too many people have too little coverage in case of a rebuild so you do want to make sure you understand the true cost of a total loss.

Having more people liable for the lease is usually positive in my experience.

I'm curious what other people think of this list.
