While you want them to grow with you, a company that manages properties across several states or non-contiguous cities is likely spread too thin and unable to provide the crucial local expertise required for a premium guest experience.Could you provide a few references to me specifically for my property type?

Your agent should prepare a pro forma that models the building’s worst-case operating scenario, specifically assuming property taxes are reassessed to reflect the purchase price.For example, if the building is currently assessed at $250K and taxes are about $8K per year, but you’re buying it for $750K, then it’s realistic that the county could reassess it closer to that new value with taxes 2x'ing or 3x'ing.

The lease is up in Feb 2026 and I’m considering converting the garage and moving to renting individual rooms to increase cash flow.. any thoughts on moving to this model?
