What should I look for in a Property Manager for an Airbnb?
I am currently shopping for an investment property that I plan to run as a Short-Term Rental on Airbnb from afar (2.5 hours driving distance) and I am currently investigating property managers/management companies for quotes. I'm wondering what should I be looking for in a property manager for this? For example, changing lock combinations, house inspections, communication with guests, etc. What can I punt to the property manager and what should I be handling?
In addition, what are things I should be asking property managers when I'm vetting them for the job? For example, rates, availability, response time, etc.
Thank you for your responses!
