Experience investing/managing STRs remotely?

[James Moen]

Hello BP community! I am an aspiring investor looking to start out in STRs managed remotely. After a friend turned me on to the BP a couple months ago I started listening to the Real Estate and Rookie podcasts interested in finding a way to eventually escape my W2 job. Then I heard the episode with Avery Carl, read Short Term Rental Long Term Wealth in one sitting and have become obsessed with STRs as my entry point.

I am reaching out to the community hoping to find specifically feedback from others who have successfully(or unsuccessfully) managed STRs remotely. Obviously Avery's podcast, book, and blogs on the Short Term Shop website have lots of valuable information and I have followed on researching the various softwares/processes/tools for automating and managing remotely, but would love to get some additional perspective or experiences before I jump in.

Thanks so much!
