Tree trimming is not typical tenant landscaping and no reasonable person would think it is.

I’m sure they have people who do that kind of thing as part of their job description. 

With a $35,000 renovation budget, we transformed the home, significantly enhancing its appeal and market value.

How hands on this project do you want/plan to be?

Property management is but a cog in the wheel for investors, however, one could argue it may be the most important one... 

Ideally, it would not need something like Zapier to connect tools, as that adds to the costs and can be clunky. 

Refinancing it with a renter inside will get you more money back than what you put in, and you can keep doing this over and over.So, the verdict is: if you buy it right and rehab it right, the general rule should always be to keep it (for now).That’s my personal opinion.

It feels like a gimmick.

Yes, it doesn't have to be one purchase. 

Additionally, I'm interested in understanding typical STR fees to help estimate cash flow.If anyone is willing to share their experiences or offer advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
