Once the baseball season concludes in October, my wife and I plan to transition the house into a full-time rental property. 

You will find it most useful to attend a couple of local real estate meetups, because that's where a lot of seasoned and new investors hang out :) Here's one that I host every month, usually for newer investors like yourself:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1163449-are-...

There is so much information and the more I hear, the more questions I have :) LLC or Not, DSCR financing will allow you to cash out after 90 days seasoning.

People might even use them as affordable mountain homes during ski season.  

We are not hurting financially if we hold on and eat some losses, (it's great for tax season) so we aren't looking to drop prices any further. 

I’m originally from Portland Oregon and loved how each season had an outdoor activity.

It is much more important to get to know what a PM's experience is, how many years they have been managing properties, are they also an investor, what types of owners they work with, how many total units they manage, what their largest property is, what class of properties do they manage, how do they handle tenant communication, maintenance requests, expenses, do manage commercial or residential, and what type of software they use.Just some advise from a seasoned investor and property manager, The First Question That You Shouldn't Ask is, How much do you charge?

Hello @Pradeep PrasadThank you for your patience, its high season down here and its super busy.All is great, thank you for asking!

For example, in our market all of the MTRs turn to STRs over the summer because we have a lot of seasonal vacationers so traveling professionals really have a hard time finding anything from May-September.

We were able to get the properties and put in some sweat equity and they were able to take a non producing asset and get an instant income back for a season.
