If you have a $5k judgement, and you can get a guaranteed grand or two from an agency, that's not a bad deal *and* you have the satisfaction of knowing they will hound this person from here to eternity.  

It might make more sense to own the property and lease it out to an organization that does it and you could do a percentage lease rather than a flat monthly fee.It isn't for me but I'm more of a passive person.

An exception may be someone with a VERY strong personal financial statement. 

I don’t plan to use the MIL for personal use. 

I'm personally not a fan of 3/1s for MTR.

I just got back from deployment about a month ago and have focused a lot of my spare time on catching up on personal matters and setting up my business.

The fee gets you listing maintenance, a professional person available around the clock to communicate with your guests and monthly/end of year reporting.

I have nothing against smokers personally, but do not want that smell to be imprinted on my property, long after they are gone. 

Hi all,I’ve been a long-term landlord for over a decade, then I started hosting my personal vacation rentals in 2021 and now have started hosting properties for others.

Are you a person who can connect and teach starters ?
