I understand these services may be beneficial for higher net worth folks with multiple properties, businesses, etc but I just need someone who understands the STR "loophole" to execute on one property.  

hi folks,I would like to better understand the cost associated with running STR in Oahu.

I have cash for the above property and can not get these folks to push the paperwork through.

But like I said its only a handful of folks I would trust to be my clients for this type of activity far more risky than vanilla lending.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Hey Chris, im an investor and agent over in Phoenix who helps alot of folks think through making your first investment.

So I don't know if it makes much sense to buy a rental property for about 200k-250k, just to make a few extra thousand a year (based on a 5% return).

Most folks that are offering you a cash offer + offering to pay off all your closing costs typically buy at a good price (if they're investors).

I know this is a somewhat controversial product but a reverse mortgage is an option for folks who want to remain in their home and age in place but need a source of cash flow.Hope this points you in the right direction.

Join your local investment club; there you will find folks that speak the same language.
