You're correct, that is the terminology I was referring to. 

Mencken observed the creation of the word "realtor" in 1916 as the brainchild of a national association of real estate agents trying to distance itself from the seedy image of con men and hucksters usually associated with salesmen and go-betweens.

The relationships I've built here in western Washington, allow for really good prices on work, plus I refer them out to my RE sellers and buyers for work to be done before listing or when after buying.Yes indeed, the three it's going up I think the only short-term rental that we would do in Washington would be converting our own house into a short-term rental space.

I have been researching the best org structure for doing buy and hold rentals and have come down to structures similar to the images below.

I would just ask for references from anyone you have never worked with before so you can try to vet them a little and never give them all the money up front.

I am referring to rental rate growth over that time period similar to rent growth in LTRs.

You can check references and reviews online of cleaning companies. 

Hopefully you were able to verify the new job is legit as well as excellent previous landlord reference. 

That book hands down changed my life, and it is one that I go back to reference quite often when I start to feel like I need to focus or if I'm feeling lost as to what the "next best step" is for me to achieve my BIG WHY.   

I can refer you some depending on what part you are moving to.
