I'm looking to start using property management software that can also do the accounting for seller financed loans, including escrow accounts.

There definitely has been an uptick in the number of STRs since we started renting out our first property at the beginning of COVID.

The process can start the day after you close and usually takes about 3 weeks to get you the funds right back to your account. 

I'm about to start my 1st out of state STR, but 2nd overall STR property in the portfolio with 3 years of experiencing managing a property in Joshua Tree by myself without a co-host/property manager.

Risk starts with what is AT risk. 

By pooling financial resources, we secured the property and funded the $25,000 renovation, ensuring the project was well-capitalized from start to finish.

If they are not able or willing to honor their commitment to pay the full rent amount, it's time to start negotiating a mutual termination agreement, cash for keys, or eviction.

Starting the 6th Buying agents will get paid by the buyers so you don't have to consider that into your sales price. 

I've got a 2nd floor detached garage build i'm in the planning/permitting stages of here and looking for advice to see if any key features need added.It will have its separate entrance from main garage which will be utilized by main house STR for a game room eventually.

I have seen a few try to get started over there last several years, but none seem to have survived (or are really bad at SEO and marketing) since I was not able to find any the several times I have searched.That being said, I know Cadre has launched a secondaries market for their own investment offerings, but that is limited in scope to Cadre positions, and is currently closed anyways and will be "re-opening soon".
