We closed on the property and the seller-financed mortgage together, under our personal names. 

The reconstruction project is taking longer than expected, and I'm facing ongoing fees every month, despite being unable to use the property for rental or personal purposes.

However, these situations can be complicated, and it's to your benefit to have a realtor on your side (if you don't already) to help you negotiate and stay within the law.Your post was pretty general, which I appreciate, but I don't know if I handled all of the concerns someone in your shoes would have.

Personally, I need to do more homework myself on the local STR part to see if numbers make sense.  

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

The person leasing it wants to do Airbnb.

Personally I am not a fan of sitting on a lot of POH homes for sale at the same time. 

There is a person in California who asked me to move into their house to rent but I am more interested in buying the place as it can be turned into a multifamily property.
