I'm a real estate investor specializing in STR properties, a realtor, and I own a construction company.

Denton County offers opportunities in suburban and college town markets, while Grayson County provides affordable entry points with cash-flow potential.

I have noticed competitors charge as low as 10 to 15% but their quality isn't the best and then I have seen others charge 25 to 30% We remain in the middle and provide a small business experience with super host status.

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

Happy to connect and provide you with a list of the local meet ups. my cell and email are below! 

Most landlords don’t go looking for a property manager until they’re dealing with an issue—tenant headaches, late rent, maintenance problems—so your marketing should focus on providing solutions, not just listing your services.Marketing Strategy: Combined or Separate?

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

I hope to never need the umbrella insurance, but it provides peace of mind that I have extensive coverage.  

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

With the amount of support they provide I am not against settling for an 8/10 deal.
