I will say, short term rentals require a bit more work, and if you are moving out of state, you may want to take a look into getting a property manager ( take that cost into account when running the numbers ).I hope that helps, reach out if you have any more questions. 

For example, we've recently taken over marketing internally because the property management company was not experienced enough in using the newer advertising methods we need to pursue.

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

The ultimate answer is no (and I'm not a tax accountant).

Could you recommend a trustworthy and cost-effective company for this? 

If you do decide to keep the rentals, let me know if you need any property management company recs!

I started my career with the renovations team renovating the houses we buy, and with the property management company working with our residents and our maintenance teams.

. - Most Fortune 5000 (and others) companies do this.

We are looking to connect with others to build a solid foundation to our newly started company. 

There's usually a good reason why a company is cheaper or more expensive.
