Short Term Rental Resources / Automation
Hello!
We are in the process of looking for our first STR. We are currently looking about 2.5-3 hrs away.
Is it feasible to self-manage and not be there? I have seen multiple forums about automation but wanted to figure out what apps/ processes people like best in this thread. What is the typical Property manager fees, 25% or so? VRBO/ AIRb? which do people like best?
Best cleaning service apps? Handyman apps? CO-host apps? Any free calculators that people found online to quickly run the numbers? Willing to soak in any information people have to make the process more automated. Any books that give a step-by-step guide how to automate? Thx all

Self manage using vrbo and airbnb. Get a great cleaning service to handle turnovers and be your eyes and ears.
This will get you 90 to 95% of the way once you have your new place outfitted.
