Tips - Long Distance Self Managing
What are some tips/suggestions you'd offer for Long Distance Self Management? I am semi retired at age 44, I sold my franchise business 1 year ago and have a very good idea of what it takes to operate a business successfully. I have the time to self manage but not too sure what I'm getting into. Any Tips or Suggestions are appreciated. TIA. With property prices, rates, and available software platforms it seems to me self management right now is the only way to save on costs.

Vrbo and Airbnb makes it pretty easy to self-manage.
Add a great cleaning team and you are 95% of the way there.
Its good to locate handymen and the like but those are easy to find on local FB groups or thumbtack. Also, the nextdoor app is great for finding local resources.
