Picking a servicer depends on what fits your business model and experience. 

For those who read this later, these are my opinions only, no one else's, from 30 years of experience.

Being involved in the area as an agent puts me infront of a lot of people who want to sell their properties for way under market value, but I can only handle a limited amount with my own funds/time.Anyways, feel free to PM or comment if you might be interested in meeting up!

I'd love to buy you a coffee, chat, and learn from your experience!

You may have luck in the mountains, as you indicated but in my experience the prices up there are extremely high. 

As a real estate agent and seasoned short-term rental (STR) host with over seven years of experience, I've seen the STR market evolve, especially post-2021, where competition is at an all-time high.

What type of experience did this borrower have ?

Hello BP community,I've had a terrible experience with a PM company in CO.

I understand the restrictions in the market (and that Napa county in completely restricted) but and am hoping to find an agent with experience specifically in short term rentals in the Sonoma market.

A next door neighbor, who really wants the prior owner gone, has kept me updated.Anyone with California experience and knowledge want to chime in?
