Landlords mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.This also leads them to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Still trying to get them out in multiple propertiesnature of the game.

I'm now looking to get into the multifamily game with some partners. 

It's better to get in the game than sit on the bench and not play.    

I have been in the game for well over a decade and they all have a story.

We are entering the game with our first rental (family member was supposed to move in but passed away, so we already are in possession of this property).

My situation:I'm a Concept artist at a video game company, with a few side gigs that primarily involve art.

Anyone with any experience in the STR game I would love to hear how you started, what you expected and how it actually turned out.
