Hi Dustin,

I have done a few flips and had an owner carry and a long term rental I recently sold. I am looking to get into some STR properties this year through Brrrr method.
I appreciate you sharing the information on what systems you are using to manage your properties.  

Do you only manage for other people or do you have some STR properties of your own?

Thanks and may you have a blessed New Year.

Clark

     I own and self manage all of my properties. I have multiple STRs in different markets in GA and TN. As long as your systems and teams are in place you'll have a good experience managing. Reach out to me if you'd like to understand any more about our process.

    Im also a licensed agent in North GA mountains if you're interested in expanding into this market.
