Thanks for your advice.

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.  

Any advice on this and experience/tips from others having gone through similar deals would be greatly appreciated!

I’m exploring the idea of turning it into a furnished long-term rental to hold onto it, generate income, and possibly return to STR when things settle down.However, I’m new to the furnished LTR space and would love advice!

Hi BiggerPockets Community,
My name is Yael Doron, and my husband, Ido, and I are real estate investors based in Israel. We’re looking to invest in the Phoenix, Arizona area or nearby regions. We have around $150,000...

It sounds like you might be doing a little eraser math (making a deal work from not estimating enough for costs) so beware of that.

A low maintenance condo rentable to good tenants sounds like a good starting point to me.I’m 56 and reasonably setup for retirement, so real estate is a stabilizing diversifier for me.

Most are selling hype to get you to buy their programs by deliberately make it sound easy.Your profile here on BP is blank, so guessing you are a "newbie"?

I don't want this to sound rude, but I don't know how else to say it. 

If anyone has had similar experiences with Jenny Yi or has advice on further steps, please share.
