Hey, our Turnkey Real Estate team is building out infrastructure to manage STR and MTR alongside our long term property management services. What do you wish your MTR/STR management did? What do they struggle with? What technology do you prefer?

I love MTRs. to me they are the perfect blend between STR and LTR. easier to manage. Still have more frequent eyes on the property and keep in clean.

I get a lot of MTR bookings off airbnb and then also use turbotenant.

I am new to MTR and have a few questions, I appreciate any recommendations!

1. What are reasonable temperature limits for the thermostat in an MTR located in Texas?

2. How do you handle mailbox keys? Do you provide them to guests and if you do provide them do you have to re-key mailbox after every guest or trust that they did not make duplicates?

3. Recommendations for keypad door locks that you can change remotely?

1. in my area , salt lake city i do (65-75 for heating) and (65-75 for cooling) i believe this range is good for my system but also appeases most people. I use ecobees

2. mailbox keys are tough, usually i don't provide them in the beginning but if they ask I will provide them . i do not redo mailbox keys

3. Schlage encode

Had anyone had Success with running ads on Facebook for bookings on your STR? If yes, would you mind sharing your strategy and/or advice?

I think this is property dependent. If you have a dynamite property in a desirable vacation rental spot it could be worth it.. but not all properties would make sense to do with facebook ads.

Hey everyone,
I’m starting a full-time job in NYC soon with an all-in comp of $96K (base + bonus). I’ve always been interested in building a small personal real estate portfolio and have been thinking about purchasing a condo as my first step.

The idea would be to live in it for at least a year, then eventually rent it out. I'm just not sure how realistic that is with my income and whether it's the smartest move right now considering HOA fees, interest rates, and NYC prices.

If you were in my position—early in your career but eager to get started—how would you approach this? Would you buy now, wait, or look outside the city for a better first investment?

Open to any and all thoughts—really appreciate the insight.

When you are looking at condos.. make sure to ask for balance sheets, meeting minutes, budget, assessments. I have seen people not due proper research and get slammed with a huge assessment early on in ownership because they didn't do their due diligence.

a good agent representing you should be able to get you this info from the selling agent or PM.

Newbie here. First STR property about to go live; just finished renovation. I am ready to list the property and have interviewed a couple of vacation home property managers who are pursuing the listing. They both charge 22%, which is typical in our market for high-end beach vacation rentals. I would love to hear any tips, insights, etc, from those who have worked with property managers. For example, I want to ensure that the listings on VRBO, Airbnb, and other platforms belong to us and not them, so that if/when we terminate the contract, we retain the history, reviews on our property. I don't know what I don't know, so I appreciate all of your feedback. Thank you-

Sounds like you might be interested in Co hosting rather than true PM. COhosting is where owners have the listings under their end and a cohost can be added who essentially does a lot of the work similar to a PM . all the work in regards to billing restocking etc can all be negotiable

Quote from @Trent Reeve:

my problem will be the mandatory fee that our complex charges, separately from us, for car registration and for pets. I dont know how that will work with the resolution center

Agreed. I do a lot of pet fees through the resolution center...

Ultimately I feel airbnb is also doign this so they can ensure they collect all the taxes and their fees on literally every payment. as every host knows.. the resolution charges didn't have the airbnb fees

I believe proper was good years ago when they were ahead of the game with STR insurance but now major insurance companies have caught up (state farm, travelers, etc) and can out price proper from what I have seen most of the time

I was just checking out a great vacay spot I like (Cape Cod) and its a milli for a house. Wow. A 2BR Condo is available for less than $350k though. Would that be good for a STR?

Any places in the US that are good for STR but have a lower price point entry? Thanks

I work as an agent and property manager in the northern utah area. Happy to chat with you about STRs here. Landlord friendly state, lots of growth, can still succeed in the STR market with a purchase price of 400-500K.
