Buying a STR from a Property Mgmt Co

[Felicia Lucco]

I was perusing Vacasa for STR properties for sale. Is it expected that they would also manage if I purchase from them? Could it be worth the cost if their professional management and marketing got me a higher occupancy and best rates? Or is this not always the case? Would a local property mgr. be better (for properties out of state)? Thanks for your input.
