First time vacation rental owner

[Daniel D Ryan]

I am purchasing a property in the Rosemary Beach area which I will be managing remotely.  I am trying to get my arms around were to set up my rental.  Should I create my own site on something like godaddy and try to drive organic bookings or let a service create my site?  I do not mind paying for a level of assistance but I see using a full time manager limiting my chances for a profitable property.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Why wouldn’t you start with Airbnb and/or VRBO? If you’re going to self manage, start with self-listing on those platforms. You can always build a website after you generate a bunch of 5 star reviews. Plently of us on list there and some have websites too. Either way, good luck!
