STR while being remote

[Maria Matthew]

Hello all! 

My husband and I have house hacked our house, we made it 2 units, we lived in one portion and Airbnb'd the other which was great because we were able to clean and manage onsite. Now we are exploring traveling full time and managing remotely. 

I feel like we can manage remotely, but being the control freak that I am.... I am so worried about cleaners not showing up, and not being there to make sure every thing is ok and up to our standards. I have set us up with remote locks from Yale so the guests get codes, have a handyman that we trust on out team, upgraded our outside cameras, and are interviewing our cleaning team and doing all the things to prep us for doing this remote. 

I would love to hear from other STR owners is this is a normal fear and what you do to mitigate as much as possible! Thank you in advance
