Hello,I own a rental single-family house in Los Angeles which owns by my land trust name.

Is there any company’s that you can suggest that you have had good experiences with and trust or maybe another strategy of managing a long distance STR.

We are realizing that this home doesn't fit our lifestyle anymore and we want to pay down debt and start saving to buy our first rental property. 

Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

You can see if it appreciated historically and then you can think its a good deal after 2 years of waiting for it to pay you back?

you're just building equity instead of paying rent.

Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

My questions are: How do I find a trust worthy team, broker, contractor, etc..?

I trusted this agent because she was recommended to me by one of the MTR gurus/book writers as a high professional investor-friendly agent.I had planned to implement a mid-term rental (monthly) strategy, but I cannot do so due to HOA restrictions and high insurance costs.

We have been happily surprised at the upside available from paying a full, fair price to a mom-and-pop seller, upgrading, increasing revenues, and selling to a higher level buyer (like an institutional player).
