Self-managing an out of state STR

[Eric P.]

When self-managing an out of state STR (without a local PM), I get that a lot of things can be automated now (cleanings, locks, cameras, payments, bookings, etc). But if you live far away from your STR / Airbnb / VRBO property, how do you deal with practicalities like occasionally replacing furniture? (knowing what needs to be replaced plus actually buying it, choosing the right piece, coordinating delivery, etc).

Also, what about the occasional case when you get storm damage (or fire damage) on your property? How do you get someone to inspect the damage, help you clean up the mess, replace damaged furniture, repair home damage, etc, etc?

Just trying to cover the practicalities before making the leap!
