I don't think you're in the same market segment as I am, Wes, so I'm not sure this is all that important for you.

It lists 20 questions you need to ask a property management company broken down into there segments from learning about them and their experience, learning about their systems and how they operate and finally a few to help you make that final decision on if they are a good fit.https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Best of luck!

You have a segment of short term residents in the city, usually young people that have been lost. 

They seem to operate a bit like the stock market... they can get spooked by world events and need time to settle back into certain products that to us seem "normal".I went to another bank we use and where they hold one of our mortgages and they said, "We have the product, we just aren't writing it right now"... which leads me to believe it's a pretty standard pullback given the concerns over how the corona virus will impact any particular market segment.  

Everyone I know performing in the STR segment universally has a laser focus on the operational aspect.

Yea one thought I had is that the rental market would be stable to even better, because the higher rates would move a segment of the population from affordable to not (i.e. have to rent) - but perhaps that gets cancelled out by lower house prices.  

Unfortunately they have a small segment that some will argue  conduct themselves like savages, but itś in no way an indictment of most.

Done correctly, I think it further segments your liability since the property (the LLC holding Title) is now separated from the leasing activity (the Mgt LLC).Good luck.

I've seen results across all segments.

But, don't you think this segment of the population, where they have kept their jobs and qualify to buy a larger, more expensive house - is a limited group?
