It's much more fully integrated, which works well for guests and hosts. 

If a person has to ask, at all, I STRONGLY advise to use a PM service for tenant placement. 

Mgt, Landscape/Snow, tax, insurance, utility then debt service. 

You cannot deduct your rehab costs until the property is in service. 

I am in Central Florida and have some great PM relationships, but none of them cover all the areas I service, so I tell my clients, let's find a property, and then I can connect you with the Best PM that covers the area. 

For comparison purposes, I hold ownership units in a LLC that owns a retail/service center where there is a mortgage loan that initially represented 50% of value, now about 35%.  

You can put a mortgage into a "trust: without triggering a due on sale but again contacting your bank/lender is the best route to avoid any issues.Some banks/lenders or servicing companies change guidelines and even a trust may require other paperwork but the attorney usually facilitates that to be safe.  

Its normally fee service providers who are the greatest advocates of the program, whether it be agents, PM's, coaches/gurus. 

Also, our virtual assistant service and their activities and processes we've perfected over the years creates a pretty massive pipeline of incoming deals. 

Professional PMs use specialized tools to verify income directly with a tenant’s bank or payroll service, ensuring legitimacy.
