I suspect these hosts are buying off bad reviews.

This puts the current market rents of $885–$925 per unit well within the affordable range, with room for modest increases post-renovation.I’ve also reviewed competing properties in the area; apartments seem to be listed between 975 -1000, and houses are listed between 1300-1900.

Recommend having an attorney review it to confirm.If the PMA has legally expired, then the PMC is in the wrong - although they may still have claims for covering the legal expenses.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

Quote from @Jed Butikofer: Quote from @Jonathan Greene:If you aren't house hacking, multifamily deals should be profitable (maybe not in CA).When I review markets I have lived in, I see 2 bed duplexes for $500k-$700k while only generating $1,400 each in monthly rent.

Will they "check themselves" from bad behavior when they see a professional company with professional services, legally reviewed lease, etc. managing their day-to-day?

I constantly get great reviews often comments of how clean the cabin is.

As others have stated, you'll always encounter issues, problems, and complaints (negative reviews) from all sides tenants, landlords, and vendors.The bottom line?

This includes contacting the applicant’s employer and speaking with their supervisor to confirm job stability, income, and reliability​. if the person has not been employed at their place of employment they would require a guarantorCredit Score and Debts: Applicants need a minimum credit score of 620, and while we review debts, medical debts are generally not disqualifying unless they impact overall financial health.Criminal History: We do review criminal history to ensure safety and security for our tenants, while remaining mindful of state and federal guidelines.Rental History: Positive references from past landlords, with no evictions or significant lease violations in the past five years, are essential. and we can see into the court system if they have an eviction judgement.Release of Information: We include a release form allowing us to verify employment and rental history directly, which helps us get a clearer picture of an applicant’s background.This process has worked well so far, but I’m always open to improving.
