Start with a marketing plan.

I would keep cash reserves in a money market fund that gives you 4.5%, and take out a 0% interest, 12-month card so you can pay the minimum each month without interest.

Seems like a potential issue if I stop working with them in the future and lose all access to the listing completely.I currently manage an STR in my local market, but a property manager I spoke to insisted that they handle all the setup on the OTAs vs having the listing under my account and giving them cohost/PMS access.This is my first time dealing with a property manager so I was wondering what everyone's experience is like in this business relationship.Secondary question:As an experienced cohost, do you care if it's an old or brand-new listing?

I have a background in marketing and am wondering if paid google ads and paid search is required in addition to yellow letters. 

It's also a great opportunity to network with the investors whose homes you're inspecting to see what they are doing and keep up with the market.

It looks like we are trending towards a more equal seller/buyer market place.

I have an extensive network of properties and being a licensed realtor myself I have access to things that aren't brought to market How did you finance this deal?

Could be the market here in Vegas.

Looking at what's out there in our market is discouraging.Have you ever read "How to win friends and influence people"?

Go to meetup.com and search real estate for these meetups to link up with people that know your local market and that are doing it!
