It’s true that many property management companies are now incorporating tenant benefit packages as part of their offerings.

Rents will continue to fall and property prices will still fall for as long as this remains true.

@Jason Sung, common sense says that yes it is true.

But it feels like if you keep cashing out equity on your properties to buy another, you end up with multiple properties but with your equity stretched really thin, like a house of cards ready to collapse. 

I don't think he would allow someone that had to put the fee on a credit card.

Personal loans through the credit card companies can be approved and fund very quickly and my best rate is 7.9% so shop around as some are much higher.

You may just stumble into seller financing if play your cards right.

Note that you’re dealing with a true bureaucracy.  

This is true for me anyway. 

I'm not sure why that metric has held true but it still applies, the properties that perform well above that ratio are the owners that treat their STR like a business.
