STR Advise for newbies

[Mark Jaskowski]

Hello all,

I'm looking to bounce some ideas off the community.

I am in the process of finishing up a deal in las vegas, about 15 minutes west of the strip. This is my first long range investment.

It will be either a STR of mid term rental. I am leaning towards STR, thoughts?

Also looking for a quick check list of services I'll need to get it off the ground. Here are my thoughts so far:

1) Property manager

2) Contractor (should need minimal work), will probably go with who the prop manager recommends.

Any ideas of who else I'll need to contact? Also open to any good Airbnb software that could automate everything (especially cleaners)

Thanks!

Right off the bat, I’m concerned that you’re buying a property that you don’t have a clear plan for. 

If you’re hiring a property manager it should be a local company that is doing EVERYTHING for you. You shouldn’t need contractors, cleaners, etc.
