For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days.

I will also change my opinion.

Is not a licensed appraisal specialists and therefore is not permitted to provide an opinion of value . ( keep wholesaler from telling seller their 500k prop is only worth 300k).4. the disclosure goes on and on about how to terminate it who to file complaints with etc etc. complaints go to the DRE.

Quote from @Chris Menne: I am considering moving out of state in the next year or so, and wanted to get some opinions on either selling my current house, or turning it into a long term rental.

Translation probably won’t give you the definition / information you need to form an opinion. 

I only ask because that is, in my opinion, the most challenging part.  

- In our opinion/experience, it's important for an OOS investor to understand the "lay of the land".

But it is my opinion you should try Airbnb, VRBO, booking.com and FlipKey and give it a chance to see if it is adding business.

This means I get a ton of applications but Zillow also makes it easy to deny and sends them the denial letter which is fantastic in my opinion.

Again, that is my opinion, and I'm sure others will claim they are truly turnkey.A turnkey operator finds or builds a property.
