Information online makes it seem like it’s no big deal if something breaks because you have paying tenants.

Customers book and manage everything online and we use a property manager for Q&A and handsfree management.

There are so many "best str market" lists online and they always seem to include cities that do not allow STRs i.e Malibu, Manhattan etc...

Yes, my company did have me take some online courses but I would like more one on one training. 

Phil -There are various published online material(s) which can serve as guidance. 

Can anyone point me towards an online calculator that will show how much sooner we would pay off our mortgage if we divided our monthly repayment amount by two and paid that amount (half of a monthly amount) every two weeks, instead of paying the monthly amount once a month?

you will not want to take documents from anyone on line and will want an attorney to create docs for you which would range from $5-$10k.Regarding management fees, 1-2% is what those fees typically, are so even at $1M you are taking $10-$20k/yr in management fees, which probably does not get you super excited, but thats where they typically are.

I’m trying to get access to it currently, because I did it online.

If they can’t make my day, I respond that they can look online to see if it’s still available afterwards and if so, hopefully they can make the next one.
