Plus, as far as I have found it's the only PMS that will work for MTRs in addition to STRs with automated lease e-sign option as part of the booking / automation process.

But while the others want big investments, Ted's website does offer some freebies...https://tedthomas.com/wealth-w...I signed up for free on his website and was sent and email with Links to an information booklet and a list of auctions being held by county and state across the U.S.

@Bob Beach @Luca Giani had some great post below on what to look out for when evaluating PM or just heads up on things to double check with PMs before signing on. 

I call the nice wealthy frineds and explain that house 4 is now worth enough to more than cover the loan amount and they agree to sign a release deed for house 3.

They signed on anchor store spaces and asked for millions in TI, typically to do modest updates to physical property, a lot of it for merchandise, and rumors are the rest went into Steve's and Barry's pocket.

But then, I just read the signs of the times, no special insider knowledge.

I'll address your questions from my perspective in order:First - You sign a lease agreement in addition to the airbnb booking.

If they are operating under the "We'll figure that out once we get there" approach - that is a bad sign.  

The short term rentals are a lot more work than the mid term rentals but it is a nice mix.Since we are sharing our home, we have a home sharing agreement that our guest signs for the mid term rentals.
