So now I'm vetting STR PM companies in order to monetize this consistent opportunity. 

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

Google ratings and scheduling a consultation is always best and choose an attorney that way . preferably in the area that the properties are located in . 

I don't even drink the stuff and have no idea what a French press does, but I hear some prefer that method and for this price, I'm willing to experiment with adding this amenity. 

I say that if you're going to invest out of state then you need some handyman/contracts or even property management company in that area.

Just curious, why would you prefer it wasn't? 

If I can recommend anything (and everybody is entitled to their own opinion) I would recommend finding a traditional brick and mortar brokerage where you have access to a mentor, company paid resources, company name recognition, etc.

I stayed on at work part time through the 1st of April and now am on a per diem basis in a different role with the company.

I prefer to keepthings streamlined in fewer software for my flipping business.

Seller was tired of the land and the buyer was an institutional mobile home company.
