Look up average performance of those markets on platforms like Pricelabs and call around to find out expenses (there are also many market specific resources on FB and YT).

Using that $300K as a down payment on (8) $250K homes at 15% down is $270K total.I would stretch that $300K out over several rentals and avoid the headache of a crowded property, that may or may not appreciate beyond its current value.

My jaw dropped to the floor.LO at a big bank researched this extensively but concluded that this was not a mistake.

We're in the middle of low season with an average booking window of 30 days so I'm not expecting a lot of tangible performance improvements until early September.Re: Revenue management, is there anything I'm missing to improve this area? 

I don't really care if one party moves out, but that doesn't mean they don't have to perform. 

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

Highlighting your extensive experience and strong FICO score will also be beneficial.

Curious if anyone else has done 30 day rentals and what kind of traction or performance they’re seeing?

Is this consistent with what I should expect to pay for the returns I had performed?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
