I've tried the lower 6-7% PMs and usually you'll either pay mark ups on repairs (what you've noted) or pay extra fees (i.e. labor hours, extra calls) that you may or may not notice. 

If you searched the forums as stated you’ve noticed that it’s been asked EVERY time this question is asked.

You could form a month to month lease with a just a days notice to vacate so you could end it as soon as you get your license ready to close, the seller might be open to it.https://www.hostaway.com/blog/rental-arbitrage-joshua-tree/Or, you could continue to list on the seller's Airbnb and you could become a full-access co-host on their account - handle all communication, pricing, etc.

As additional insured you will also receive notice if the tenant ever changes their policy or cancels it.

Looking ahead, once you secure a tenant, perhaps this is something that should be explored to make the next lease up easier.Also, @Caria Mitchell raised an interesting point in saying: We are experiencing a shortage of qualified applicants, I’ve noticed non-conventional applicants vs qualified applicants that don’t have a voucher or some form of subsidy. 

I live between Somerset and Middlesex counties, so I’ve definitely noticed how tight the inventory can be.

Sure, we can say we have a 98% rent collection rate or that most tenant placements average 27 days etc etc but notice the "most" or "average".

Also, I’ve noticed that the unknowledgeable persons who are most likely to be suckered into spending time and money on these “programs” all have a basic gullibility that leads to them making comments that have remained remarkably consistent over the last 40years.  

💪 I just noticed... you're from Norfolk?

Thank you @John Mason appreciate it and yes I've noticed that there's quite a lot of people who can spread great knowledge I'm wanting to put to use.
