Hi Lisa, I can also give you names of a couple contractors I've worked with if you send me a message. I currently own/manage 4 houses in South Bend and have done most of the projects you mentioned at one or more of my houses (adding a bathroom and bedroom in one house, finishing the basement in another, etc.)

Hi Jason, I’m an investor based in New York who is relatively new to the South Bend area myself. I closed on my first property in South Bend a couple months ago and we just finished rehabbing the house. I will begin renting the house starting in September. I will be back in South Bend next week to finish preparing the house and, assuming the timing works, would be happy to grab a coffee while you are there to share some of what I have learned about the market over the past few months and learn more about your business.

Are there any investors in South Bend, IN managing one or more short-term rentals that have found good, reliable people to manage the turnover process between bookings (cleaning, washing linens, tracking items that need to be re-stocked, etc.)? Would love to know how you found your team. I’m looking to start using a home as a short-term-rental on AirBnB. Any suggestions appreciated!
