@DongHui Patel if you decide to save yourself significant money by not hiring a property manager, below are important points to know about self-managing:

  • Research local regulations to figure out what you need to do to have a legal STR
  • Research properties near yours on Rabbu, Airdna, or directly on Airbnb to figure out what amenities sell and what you can add to stand out
  • Hire a professional photographer
  • Implement a pricing tool like Wheelhouse, Pricelabs, or Beyond Pricing. You’re leaving money on the table if you try to do pricing on your own
  • Find a solid cleaner and handyman (this may take a couple tries) as they are the lifeblood of your business and will help you with any last-minute requests that you can’t do being far away
  • Use a Property Management System (PMS) tool like Guesty or OwnerRez to automate messages and run your business more efficiently

Good luck and DM me if you have any further questions!
