I’d rather run one vehicle I can do everything with... although running a Jeep Wrangler I shouldn’t pretend like I’m 100% satisfied in that category.

Even if the market slows & i have to let him sit in a home when its done having realtors come show the home until it sellsThats IF i had the propertiesAnd IF i had a Pro like me.The last 10 years it is exactly what i have done in trade for rent lol with my girlfriend on 2 homes & for a longtime friends moms home recently.What ya'll are saying is you are worried about The work not getting doneThe work being subparAnd here is what i say about that ,,,, If i am flipping a home for you there would be a contract with a timeline included would be the quality workmanship you would find in a model home & trust me i worked for 5 new home  builders in Dfw as a construction manager i do know the same flaws & imperfections on the models  exist so that folks dont crazy on textures or gaps at the top of crown molding on a tray ceiling,,, lol Right is right & quality work is satisfying the customer but a 3rd.party can come see the work & say yea or ney. 

If, after 9 months, you are really satisfied with a property Management company let us know!

Now I’m not familiar with STRs but as long as my loan is getting paid off with someone else’s money, I’m satisfied.

@Michael Bowser I've been using RocketLawyer and have been very satisfied with them.

Each of them is still legally liable for the loan they signed for until it is satisfied or defaulted on no matter who is making the payments.

First off you should NEVER have entered lease signing until after all checks were completed and satisfied.

Overall I'm satisfied with my approach because I feel reasonably well protected and that tenants will want to stay knowing how hard it is to find other pet friendly rentals.

Still doubtful that it will satisfy the demand.When people look at the Bay Area on a map, or have lived here years ago, they are quick to say things like, just live in South San Jose, or Morgan Hill, and commute up to your job in San Francisco or San Mateo.

Most definitely do NOT under and circumstances sacrifice instant rental to someone who doesn't meet your minimum standards to satisfy your wife.
