i'm trying to stay patient.i know this reply wasn't specific to LV but hopefully it helped. 

If I have several options, I would prefer a HELOC with no initial draw requirements (i.e. to establish a literal line of credit that I have no specific short term plans to use), i.e. not something like the better.com HELOC. 

Also, nightly stays should be adjusted based on your specific pricing strategy as well (e.g. longer stays further out, shorter as dates get closer or gaps exist).

Are there specific market indicators or property traits I should be paying attention to?

I'd be interested to hear others that have specific experience with them. 

Quote from @Christian Styles: Potentially able to help you find someone but I would need to know specifically where the property is in order to know who to recommend.  

Right now evaluating potential markets, I'd like to find one to focus on for my first 3 properties (building knowledge in a specific market). 

good luck Thank you for the advise. 

Most PMs, especially the well established ones, will not always flex for specific clients like this but it could be an option.hope this helps.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
