We ended up closing, but it cost me over $1000 extra to have the attorney get involved to let the world know that we were prepared for a fight. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

If you want to do a short term rental you are starting an active business and if done correctly you will make much more money but depending on your skill and the systems you create and master the work to extra income may be less than a different job or business and you need to look at work seasonality and risk not just one aspect.

If anything, charge extra for anyone paying by check or money order in the office to compensate for the additional work it takes to manually deposit those funds.

If 300 extra dollars is going to sink you then you might want to rethink your plan. 

So I would say just show you know what you’re talking about and are willing to go the extra mile to help them succeed eventually your record will speak for itself!
