First STR Advice

[Jerry Zigounakis]

I just bought my first STR and hopefully closing in February. The home is in a great location in Big Bear Lake, CA close to the Village and Ski Slopes.

I have an array of emotions being scared of failung and excited all at the same time. My head is spinning on how to make this run as smoothly and efficiently to help maximize gains and bare minimum, break even after expenses. I have a feeling just starting out my home is not going to get much exposure on sites like air bnb or vrbo until I get some good reviews.

If anyone has experience in this market I would be intrigued to hear how best to manage my new STR. Big Bear has a lot of ordinances and rules to follow to host STRs. Just trying to get my ducks in a row...feeling overwhelmed.
