These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

Can't find much online....  

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

Have you asked if there are any deed restrictions on the property?

They are very nice and can be helpful providing you what you can and cannot build on your property (Set back, height restrictions, front look etc).

These 2 platforms don't focus on MTR but vacation rentals so using Furnished Finder is a better way to get those longer term folks.I have always been a bit concerned about the area's penchant for restrictions.

As mentioned above, Portland has more restrictive rules than most of the state of Oregon.

Go to the city and county of your prospective STR and ask for the deed restrictions and/or municipal code, for the specific property.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I don't know if SF County has restricted the AirBnb licenses.Jens
