No need for a PMS with only one.AirBNB and VRBO can handle things for you.In the end you won't save much time with only one STR.Plus, personal correspondence really works well to boost those 5 star ratings. 

@Venecia BaezRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Josue RamosRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.

I’m aware that thousands of notes with their corresponding Mortgages/DOT’s are packaged up and as a whole create an MBS (mortgage backed security).

I try to do yearly 1-3% increases because that will roughly correspond to a tenant's income increases and also be close to the average rental increase over the LONG term.

I also give it to tenants so they could send rent checks and any other correspondence to me.
