🧠Incredible photos can be created with a smartphone, a DSLR, and even a garbage can pinhole style (look up the German garbage can project).The tool, whether Airbnb or a camera, has different outcomes depending on the goal and skill of the user.This year we'll end up ~40% direct with only ~7% of revenue from Airbnb.

Honest question, because the quality of property management around me is so varied, would it matter to you if the property management firm was owned by an attorney? 

I had not asked for the difference in payout when we put the policies in place.ThanksHi Andy - a replacement cost policy will cover the cost to replace damaged property with like kind and quality.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

Johnathan,Like your self, I live in an expensive area "Seattle" and invest out of state "Salt Lake City" Quality of life and affordability are very high in the beehive state.

No offense, but they are typically low-quality renters making low wages and low standards.

When it comes to finding tenants, I would make sure that there is a complete, accurate blurb of information on the listing with several high-quality photographs of the property.

What I need: qualities, courtesies, gestures you appreciate in your dream contractor so I can include them in my SOP's (standard operating procedures) to be distributed to our employees.Thanks!

Quantity or quality of deals? 

To quality control that and make sure your signs don't end up in a dumpster, give them clear instructions to take a picture on their phone of each sign they place.
