STR advice/recommendation in Corolla

[Kelly Goodman]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm a realtor & own a long term rental property. Completely new to the STR game.

I’m considering purchasing a home in 4 wheel drive area of Corolla, NC in the OBX. 

Wondering if anyone has any advice to offer there. Also, any recommendations on cleaning company’s, handyman, and pool/ht services. 

I’m assuming most people do not use traditional vacation rental companies in the OBX, due to the numbers not realistically working out well to have any cash flow. Am I right? Anyone familiar with vacasa? That’s a new company to the OBX, from what my realtor says. Any insight with them? I have a call with them today. Or do most just go the Airbnb route themselves? 

Thanks for the info!!
