Please help. STR with PM - neverending troubles
I have acquired an STR in Orlando, Florida and have a property management company handle the property, listing etc. Spent good amount to make it ready, that too handled by PM company, and after months of waiting to get the property ready and listed. My property got first review with rating 1.
I wasn't expecting this, having PM company is to avoid these, this is my first STR, and due to other obligations I have at present I can't handle the property myself remotely even though I want to manage it myself.
What options I have from here, is there a way out for me, I spent lot of money and still no cash flow yet after 3 months of closing the STR :|, Fellow members please help guide me out of this.

Self management takes a few minutes a week using your phone. You should consider just taking it over.
