If you want safety, pay off the property.

After researching the basics, I am looking forward to understanding the realistic steps in concluding a first deal.

Left me feeling like a basically have a retail/fulfillment person on my team so I'm a big fan and would recommend giving them a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as I was: Needing to furnish an STR quickly and cost-efficiently. 

@Michael Smythe - Agreed it is all basic stuff to you and I in the field of PM.

However, the reality is that a tenant can break their lease at any time by just not paying and the owner will lose that income; so a lease is just a false sense of safety. 

If your company were to manage the STR in CR how do you deal with matter of safety / home burglaries? 

Basically, lowering the sale price as long as the buyer pays all the owed taxes as well.

I would like to think it is worth it, and that I could run a business model that serves fewer customers really well rather than deliver basic services at scale.  

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

Basically a pre-nup agreement.
