Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Does anyone have any experience with this? 

with my commercial banks fico was not the driving factor it was experience collateral protection IE equity and Character with gov mit backed loans they could give a rip about character  its all about fico and DTI. 

So either 1- we find a new Accounting firm or 2- don't do the study Anyone have experience with this specifically for SFR and for an STR 

I haven’t done a deal yet so I was thinking that if I did a fix and flip first it would get my feet wet and I would get some experience and then I can move onto a BRRRR or becoming a landlord.  

After having your own experience, you'll know what to look out for in a Management company, and I can say this from experiencing first hand.I would connect with other investors that are from Arizona, you can sign a joint venture agreement with them, giving them either a percentage of your rental income or equity, and they will be your boots on the ground. 

How does your software of choice streamline operations and enhance guest/tenant experiences?

I am in talks with a reputable company that signs up proteges in commercial RE, but I am struggling a bit with their terms: the sign-up fee ranges from $10k - $40k, and a definite 50/50 profit split up to $1M mark, meaning the individual gets up to $500k, which could come from cash flow, cashout refi, sale, etc.

When I do it, I know it is done.Since this is your first deal, I would highly recommend finding someone in your town who has experience, has a team, and can mentor you through the process.
