Interview them and make sure they understand your goals, needs and are familiar with the commercial space.

I'd have to re-analyze the properties I'm looking at to see if they calculate as cash-flow positive from that perspective.I'm at the lender interview stage, so while I have a preference out of the ones I've talked to so far, I'm not currently working with anyone, and certainly open to new introductions.

I would interview multiple STR management companies so you can get an idea of what they offer, emphasize and their experience so you can hand off your asset in the hands of a reliable, intelligent and effective team.

Be sure to interview them all. 

If no one has heard of them, you might want to find a different lender..Outside of this and checking they actually exist, you'd also want to formally interview the company.

Ask the brokerages you interview what the shortfalls of the other brokerages are and see what they say.  

What are your priorities when working with a lender, so that you can determine who can be the most useful for you.It is always good to shop around and interview multiple lenders to make sure you're working with the best.

For example, you go thru a big interview process with multiple contractors and hire a certain one.

I would start by investing in the same area (wherever that might be) so you can become familiar with the area and your business partners in that specific area.2nd, I would interview at least 3 different property management companies to assist you with the investment.

I would go on Zillow, look at realtors doing 35+ transactions a year, read the reviews, pick 3-5 of those realtors then phone interview them.
