Have you ever operated or managed a company?

:-)I invest with a private company in FL. 

Hey Mark, Our property management company uses it and it has been a great tool to increase efficiency for showing properties.

Me and my girlfriend (real estate agent) are looking to start our own Property Management Company but it looks like most places require either a Brokerage licence or have a Brokerage in charge.

I am a homeowner who purchased my first home two years ago trusting a real estate agent (assigned by the mortgage company) who did not seem to have my family's best interest in mind.

I have worked with a turnkey company to purchase a couple of SFH so feel free to reach out and I can share my experience. 

If I decide to hand it over to other companies for management, I'm concerned about losing at least 8% of the profits.

So, this is my first year having a small management company where I manage rental properties for a few owners and had a few questions.

How do you suppose a property management company would deal with any of this?

Some property management companies specialize in STR's and that may be a good option for you.
