@Quiana Berry - I have a lot more success with MTRs on Airbnb and Zillow Rental Manager.

I tried to research the best and most user-friendly PM site that did not charge a fee to maintain a property, being that it was my first one and I was self-managing and not using a PM.  

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

What are some red flags to watch for when interviewing Property Managers?

The two on-site hoa approved rental management companies (which must be used if you do STRs with your unit) project around 60% occupancy.

(PM company is managed by OCF)+ One of my properties was already tenanted.

Have you considered hiring a property manager?

Being close to your rental allows for easier management and maintenance.

Without that you can be sued personally for any issue within it on your str.Its much harder for people to pierce the corporate vail and sue you personally if your property is owned and managed in a LLC .Financing is one of the only drawbacks as it is a commercial process and banks usually like to see 3 years of a decent tax return.We have 19 properties and all are in an LLC and in fact we only hold 2-4 properties in each LLC (all are owned by one parent company and done in one flow through parent company)to even further shield the liability that may/can occur on a property.There is no doubt you are exposed to higher risk on many fronts if an investment property is held personally.

The fund's sponsor then directs all of the fund's operations, including property management.
