Sending some challenging questions with the intention to get you thinking =)Why would a STR owner hire you over another co-host?

Something does not check out. 1) the reps have very American sounding first and last name but their accents are completely not.

If I had to do it over again, I would hire an attorney to be safe.

Also, with QBO, it is seamless to hire a bookkeeper to deal with the bookkeeping aspects of it since they can do it remotely from anywhere.

Are you planning on hiring a property manager or someone who can respond to maintenance emergencies for you? 

Other times we have hired and paid for the movers (careful here too). 

As a new landlord, familiarize yourself with tenant laws and have a solid lease and screening process in place to protect yourself.Be prepared for maintenance expenses by setting aside funds, and if managing the property feels overwhelming, consider hiring a property manager to handle day-to-day tasks.

Down the road, the 1031 exchange and Section 121 combo is pretty unbelievable if you hire the right CPA. 

. - You could own and operate those yourself and just hire great management or bring in a management company. 

Dude told me he had bad tenants and he wanted to hire us to takeover management and negotiate a cash for keys settlement with current tenants, then get him some new ones.
