I'd be curious to know how it would be handled as well. 

They are not full time and really don't have a good handle on the market or the latest laws.  

Both are great and handle tenant messages, rent collecting, reports, track expenses, and so much more!

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?

If you spend it on the last month's rent, you'll have nothing to cover cleaning and repairs.There are a variety of ways to handle this, but you probably don't want to bother learning them at this point.

But.... how should we handle our next few days of bookings (assuming that the exterminator does say we need treatment for bed bugs [if they say we are free and clear than obviously no action needed]).

Someone will need to be handling inquiries, monitoring rates, guest issues that arise, marketing, repairs, maintenance, and housekeeping. 

It is my biggest concern - getting into something I can't or don't care to handle. 

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

Partnering with a good property management company can help you handle the distance, but be careful with tax’s material participation rules if you expect tax savings.Sticking local is convenient, but branching out might give you better opportunities to meet your financial goals.
