Self Managing an out of star vacation property
Most Popular Reply

Running a vacation property should be considered operating a service oriented business, that comes with a lot of challenges. What sites are you listing the property? Most sites manage the payment processing from guest to guest, if you are going to manage the payments than I would suggest building a WP website, using Stripe or PayPal to manage the credit card payments. Contract templates can be found online, definitely have all your contracts reviewed by a lawyer. As far as finding a cleaning crew you can contract this out, but maybe find a few people to work with so if one can't clean for one day you have someone else to reach out to. There are several freelancers out there cleaning shared rental properties, you just have to tap into them.
