I'd get quotes from professionals first before thinking you can't add an egress window.

You could also work with a few professionals like a surveyor, landscape architect and/or engineer to help. 

No property management company in LA is going to help you rent by the room.

Moreover, there are leasing companies such as PadSplit and HomeRoom who implement this daily, but for your property size/scale, I don't believe they'll be necessary. 

Leasing out property to a management company.

As a result, we're calling another appraisal company out and it's going to take a few more days before we wrap up. 

Two years ago, it was higher and sellers wanted money hard day 1 in a lot of markets.I would ask brokers and property management companies and attorneys in the marketGood Luck!

I also received a 1099-Misc and 1098 from Capital Square along with a document titled Important Tax information which included a letter calling out the Cost Segregation Study, an income statement and balance sheet.My 2022 taxes were done by a different firm and this year, they "partnered" with another company who took over tax preparation. 

I've heard Stessa and Buildium for the most part but find it's actually very difficult to use for the average small scale landlord (I have 7 doors)The cost of Buildium I think is way too high for the small scale self managed landlord like myself. 7 units comes to $55/monthAs for Stella, the UI isnt the greatest and probably tailored for more property management companies, and the accounting features are rather lacking for Canadian tax laws.

i would say it depends on the overall investment strategy. im not really familiar with STR rentals in your area. personally i like the long term rentals, especially if you are trying to be hands off. we have two STR's, one we manage ourselves in FL and the other in Gatlingburg which is managed by a company. even with an STR rental company, i still find myself managing the manager. both require work and are by no means passive. long term (to me) is nice given time investment. hope this helps.
