My team and I also have a good infrastructure in place for out of state investors (i.e. connections to contractors, property management companies, lenders etc.) 

Did you try other companies?

I am a realtor that does all the conventional real estate stuff - with excellent customer service, of course. 

Pretty fast.I always buy title insurance through a local title company. 

I think the thing to remember is that housing rentals are a customer service business and sometimes you’ll have to spend more time with one building than another.

National STR Property Management companies are good, sometimes necessary, but also prohibitively expensive.

@Laura Dagenais That's kinda lot to put into one company. 

I set up a REI company and set aside some cash, but would not be able to do an all cash deal to start.My concerns are two part:1.

Franky,My advise is to seek out multiple Independent Agents (they represent many Insurance companies - not just one). 

Typically it involves just stuffing insulation everywhere but it can involve - depending on budget and customer goals - other features such as eco friendly siding and eco friendly insulation (we used recycled blue jeans one time).If the house has been deemed historical by the City and you have to work with an Historical Committee, then you will have your hands full.
