Is it insane to manage your own STR?
Hey friends,
Really struggling with paying 25-30% of our gross to a property manager on our first STR.
I love all the details that go into AirBNB (decor, set-up, marketing copy, customer service), so the only things I can really see needing help with are:
1. 24/7 emergency response person
2. Lawn care
3. Great cleaning people for turnovers who I can trust
Is that worth 30%?
Our STR is in a vacation town 40 min from us - we are very familiar with the area.
High season is all summer, then slows way down.
Thoughts? What am I missing?
TIA!
Kelly
