How to Manage Out of State or Long Distance Short-Term Rentals?

[Lucas Bubb]

I am looking to manage my first short term rental in Tobyhanna, PA or the surrounding areas. This location is about an hour and a half from my primary residence. What is the best way to manage this property without having to constantly be there? I will be managing the property for a landlord in the general Poconos area. Many people know this as rental arbitrage. Would you hire a dedicated property manager or would it be smarter to pay the short term rental cleaners extra to do any small extra tasks needed? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
