I am considering an STR in West Seattle that is close to a bunch of activities. Are there any local property management companies that you can recommend who provide full-service STR management?

Quote from @John Underwood:

I would be looking when there are less people trying to buy. You can likely get a better deal in the off season.

Be careful with Airdna. It is much better to check local competition yourself and know your numbers are more accurate.

How do you know what local competition is actually booking? Is there a tool for that?

Easy to self manage using your phone and the tools that Vrbo and Airbnb supply. Save that 30% PM fee.

How do you handle the things that need to be done in person, i.e. cleaning, restocking, etc. via this approach? Does AirBnB and VRBO have tools for that as well?
