@Barry Ratliff, your question touches on two important aspects of tornado damage and HOA management.

When I evaluate a software, I first build a list of the most time consuming aspects of my existing work process.

I was hoping to receive some realistic feedback on the "flexibility" aspect of the work.

I'm not sure how accessible it is from that aspect though.

.- Mobile’s low cost of living and doing business provides a desired aspect to renters that can’t be achieved elsewhere, which provides a steady influx of renters thereby decreasing vacancy rates.

If you feel your CPA may not be fully up to date on certain aspects of your particular tax situation, especially with multi-state holdings, consulting another professional can offer fresh insights or alternative strategies.

I'm particularly interested in understanding:- Key renovation aspects that meet Section 8 standards- Common pitfalls to avoid in the process- Any specific features or improvements that are highly recommended to facilitate a smooth inspection and tenant satisfactionAny advice or a checklist you wish you had when you started would be super helpful.Thanks a lot! 

This is just ONE aspect of the convenience it adds.

If my wife and I manage all aspects of our STR business (no property manager, self-managing all of our bookings and guests, accounting, rehabs, working on repairs and maintenance ourselves) as we’ve been doing the last six years, would we be considered real estate professionals?

That is how Airbnb began, but not something I would personally touch just for the liability aspect of it.
