I went through multiple agents and interviewed tons of PMs before finding the right fit.

However, you may mitigate these risks by asking for more documentation and calling them for a quick interview.

Yes I do my initial search online and then interview a few to see if we are a good fit.

@Michelle SullivanJust interviewing a PM to see how they do things to help make your decision may help you a lot, either way read some books on PM, don't go into it blind.

Also- when interviewing the contractors, make sure they have the ability to pull permits.

I listen to Sam Zell interviews to educae on real estate and it is all about risk assessment for his decision to buy or not. 

@Erica James interviewed a few different cleaners and once we found the team we liked we hired them.

Feel free to interview a couple and see which one you feel comfortable with.

When you get your license and start interviewing brokers, I would ask about their policies around personal transactions. For example, my broker lets me “pay myself” a 100% on the first 3 personal deals each year, but I still have about $400 in fees for each purchase (which cover things like risk insurance and broker review fees) Usually, the commission I get on my own deal is greater than the fees I pay, but it’s still something to think about

Agree with the previous poster, don't try to DIY asset protection and legal entity structuring across international borders...Reach out to an Irish professional familiar with Irish legal entity types and client types such as yours (i.e. foreigners investing in Irish AirBnBs).Then, interview and retain an Irish tax professional and a US tax professional.
