Do they like to be on the couch (if so I have couch covers)?

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

There are short-term rental management companies that can help with that.One that I work with in Michigan covers the entire state and can advise on local short-term rental regulations or regulations that may be on the way, they can give you an analysis of the demand for short-term rentals in that area, nightly rates in that area, monthly occupancy percentage, and projected monthly income.They also let you choose the level of service you would like from them from full service to minimal.To your success!

I'm making a healthy downpayment cash by doing a cash out refinance on three of my established properties that I know can cover the debt service handily.

@Michael Fucillo haven't played with RentVine also.Would recommend Buildium for what you need as it covers all the basics.Everything else is more geared to managing for others.

This is after covering all expenses and setting aside a certain amount for reserves to cover future expenses like capex or vacancy. 

Here’s how to handle those:•Negotiate inspection costs into your deal—in some cases, sellers will cover them.

Our agent negotiated us a credit for one aspect (floors) but given the true work that really needs to be done is there anything we can do at this point... like arbitration to cover costs of actual work that needs to be done.

A DSCR loan could definitely work, especially if the park’s cash flow can cover the debt.

However, before you do so you should ensure that your revenue from rental income covers ALL your property expenses in the townhome, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance/repairs, vacancy, property management, etc...
