Your tenant stayed somewhere with bed bugs and brought them back in their clothes/luggage, or they bought used furniture that already had bed bugs.

I am considering other options to see if there are ways I can hire someone to just do showing only and mamage my own rent collection through Zillow app, I also have my own contactors to do maintenance but have been paying monthly fee to my property manager who has done literally nothing, they also never answered my calls.It definitely sounds like you need to reevaluate your relationship with your property manager.

When he sold it was basically a wash, less the cash-flow collected.

Payment methods, tax collection etc.

And you avoid things like damaged properties (guest insurance from airbnb or prop manager themselves cover that), evictions, collections, etc.   

He collected first/last/security payments prior to move in date and was never heard from again.

They have to collect the data, confirm the data, then publish the data for the public.

Did you collect and keep an earnest money deposit from that buyer?

With the help of JURNY I am able to instant book guests all day as I collect IDs, selfies, credit card holds and rental agreements on every stay (yes Airbnb and VRBO included)Whatsapp: I use this to communicate with my cleaners.

His property wasn't collecting rent, and he was bleeding financially to work with STR Property Partners.
