STR's not through AirBnB or VRBO

[Jim Ziccarelli]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking into getting myself a second home. A little cabin in the woods within an hour from my house. I feel as though it can make a good little STR on days I'm not there. Does anyone know anything about contracts or how to keep your house safe from damages and what not by a contract if not going through a site like AirBnB or VRBO?

Thanks!
