Why - because no one has more incentive than you to outperform the PM that is trying to fill 100 other properties too.
Plus, easy to self manage from your phone and save the 30% PM fee.

How do you handle the housekeeping for a long distance STR?

Just share the schedule with the cleaners.

Thank you

I am looking at getting a vacation home approx 1200 miles from where I live

How would you suggest finding cleaners for a couple times a month to start?

If you do self manage (I am not afraid of the work for bookings , communication with renters etc) how do you have confidence with cleaning and maintenance service?
you build a great system through those headaches. once you have the SOP in place the team can reflect of these situations with no involvement from yourself .
How are you scheduling these services around your bookings?

This is the part that can be a headache. Heck I’ve got people on staff for these things, and there are still days when the manager is helping people get their TVs to work or chasing a snake out of the basement. “John in Bangladesh” is of no help on these situations.

Absolutely. That way you can vet them before you get busy.

How do I find someone to clean it?

thank you

Google, thumtack.com, FB marketplace, word of mouth, other STR owners, Craigslist, etc.

For starters, you’ll need a vacuum with a very long extension cord.

To pretty much everyone who can help, does anyone happen to know how to get cleaning people in remote areas for short term rentals
