Its 50/50 for me and we manage 18 homes

Profits can be great with good management and the right location.

Hey @DaVontaye Jordan - lots to unpack here but I agree, its strange for the landlord or property management to not provide a ledger or atleast a break down of the balance that may be owed so you can decipher how much you're truly owing. 

A monthly survey conducted by the University of Michigan that measures consumer sentiment and inflation expectations has affected yields and offered a data point for predicting Federal Reserve actions.Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)Another factor starting to gain steam in terms of affecting mortgage rates are various regional Purchasing Managers Index reports, which offer a glimpse into the health of the economy.

Document everything.I just had a guest at a property that I manage ask for a full refund for a stay he booked last minute, ignored paying a pet fee, ignored my request for the pet fee, asked for an early check in.  

Will you have to how a property manager or are you capable of managing it yourself? 

I have a local property manager that is co-host on the AirBnb listing that will continue to manage the property.

Can anyone recommend companies who manage these types of properties?

But, managing them can be a lot of work.

On the flip side, multiple MTR/STRs in other areas could yield higher cash flow, especially in tourist-heavy or affordable markets, but managing dispersed properties can be challenging, with considerations like vacancy periods and potential property management costs if you opt out of self-management.
