. , I tend to more go on my visceral experience by being in the market and seeing for myself.

Would definitely like to hear about your experience with your STRs and gain any insights you're willing to share. 

Hi all - new to the Bigger Pockets forums, so apologies if this has already been asked before, but wondering if anyone here has experience renting out. a private room in their primary residence?

Does anyone have any experience with EJ at Eagle Commercial Funding (http://www.eaglecfs.com/)?

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

But the upside is, the more you underwrite and think about these things, ideally with some real world experiences behind it to confirm your assumptions, the faster it will go next round.

I already have a few GC/contractors lined up who have experience in rehab projects.

Learned so much from this experience and can't wait for the next one!

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

@Kim Huynh - lots of insurance brokerages use the same carriers so it is likely that it is going up a lot everywhere (that's my experience).What I have done for a bunch of years is to partially "self insure".
