As a new LLC owner, I'm wondering if I should go that route, or if there is a better way to go instead.Any input is appreciated as we're trying to get everything with the business setup and rolling as soon as we can.

Have you asked for a list of the owners of the LLC? 

I have put together a "packet" for the appraisers before when they come on-site that shares details about the property (rents, square footage, etc..) and I also share a few "target properties" (aka comps) that I modeled after as a "suggestion" to them.

My advice is contact the clerk of the court for the county where the property is located and ask if they've established a system to notify registered owners when an instrument which purports to affect title to an owner's property the owner is notified.FRAUD ALERT NOTIFICATION (FAN) SYSTEM (mcohio.org)

@Jake LangleyRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder, etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

To combat this problem, a great management company who will have your back and navigate the ebb and flow of the ever changing climate of these rental sites is essential.

He doesn't have anything to sell using owner financing; the properties already have notes in place.

I would think there are a ton of properties on short term rental sites around south Florida, however more often than not, those who I see take the steps to try it out do end up with pretty consistent bookings when priced right.

And the owner will finance 

Curious to hear how y'all are marketing to and reaching owners the director-to-seller route...Thanks!
