Columbus is home to the HQ of Wendys, White Castle, L-Brands, and Huntington Bank.

Seems like a potential issue if I stop working with them in the future and lose all access to the listing completely.I currently manage an STR in my local market, but a property manager I spoke to insisted that they handle all the setup on the OTAs vs having the listing under my account and giving them cohost/PMS access.This is my first time dealing with a property manager so I was wondering what everyone's experience is like in this business relationship.Secondary question:As an experienced cohost, do you care if it's an old or brand-new listing?

I am brand new to real estate, as well to BiggerPockets, and have been learning as much as I can just in the past few weeks.

Does anyone have recommendations on their experiences with a particular brand?

Even brand new builds will require repairs.  

The upside of that is when they move out (because you won't be renewing their lease), if there are ANY stains; you can bill them 100% of the cost for that carpet because it was brand new when they lived there (okay maybe not 100% as it will be a few months old when they move out, but 95%). 

For their upcoming renewal, I would like to draw up a brand-new lease and add an updated pet policy so they will know my rules if I give written permission (they have asked us to consider a dog- which current lease says no pets, but considered case-by-case). 

Everything is brand new in the cabin too and our listing pictures are professional.
