All that said...if you're not confident you can get at least 1.5x your LT rents as an MTR, I think I might go with long term but skip the management company and DIY. 

I would prefer to go with a established company (rather than an individual hustling on the side) with streamlined processes, transparent online accounting, and a long and strong track record. 

My companies use Wrike and we custom built out our projects and tasks to meet each company's needs.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

I also have a mortgage (Solano Mortgage) company ready to go for when my tenant/buyers are ready to go get a loan.

I currently rent a storage unit for $80 a month to store supplies for my property management company.

Does anybody know anything about this guy and his company.

I have a 4 unit building in Long Beach CA and looking for alternative rental property insurance companies.

Good advice above- you'll get way more traction and scale with property management companies.

We paid a certified appraiser we got the report and everything
