There are good and bad options for all service providers and All service providers require oversight and management.For the most part with each of these services, you have the choice of whether or not to outsource the job or do it yourself.

It doesn't perform well; your neighbor is a nightmare, they put more regulations, you get tired of running it etc.It may not be your first choice, but it will be a smarter investment overall, especially for newer STR investors. 

We’ve learned the hard way that sometimes, the best choice isn’t the one with the highest price tag.

Wise choice. :)

Its my house not yours we just allowing some design choices not what components go into it.along with the supply chain is still not perfect we may need to swap something out to keep project going.

If given a choice between one paid-in-full property and two identical properties with 50% leverage, the latter will always out perform in the long run.  

However, if have several rentals and need to deposit checks, or use a debit card to pay utilities and other bills, etc. conventional business bank account would be the best choice. 

PM if you'd like more info.Can you explain how you were able to get a HELOC based on LIBOR, and was that a better choice than the usual "Prime rate".

I've worked with Adam & Tommy at Rent To Retirement, and they both have taken a ton of time to educate me about multiple markets & investment options so I can learn & ultimately make an investment choice that best fits my goals.

I applaud you for your thinking in choices you have made so far.
