San Diego Short term rentals

[James Tiu]

Hello BP. I am closing on escrow in a couple weeks on my 2nd duplex. I have noticed that almost no property at this moment is creating cash flow here in San Diego for long term rentals. I am planning on turning this new property into a short term rental and list it through one of the many popular websites. I would prefer to have a STR management team manage the listing and the day to day task of turnover, cleaning, stocking, etc. My questions are

1. Has anybody had experience with short term rentals here in San Diego, and how did you get started?

2. Would anyone recommend a STR management team that could manage my listing? What are their fees?

3. Would finding a cohost be a better idea for me?

Any feedback on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for your experiences and insight!
