Starting a short term rental property management business.

Hey BP Community.  I am starting a short term rental property management company and I am wondering a few things:

-If you use a short term rental property manager, what do their pricing structures look like? Do the percentages that they take as management fees include cleaning?

-Do your STR property managers do your book keeping/track your book keeping for you?

-If they set up your bookings for you, how much do they charge you to take pictures and set up your listing?

Thank you all so much in advance for all of your help and responses! I truly appreciate it so much!

20% And they provide booking, tax payments, pictures, videos.

They personally go to the property to check on things and fix things.

They have their own maintenance people  but also coordinate contractors for more involved repairs.

They have personally gone to house to fix my surround sound receiver issue.

They have guests come by their office for checkin and checkout. 

They have spare TV's, microwave etc when their is a problem with one of yours.
