Quote from @Scott E.:
For a rehab, you should ask a few real estate agents. Most good real estate agents will be able to connect you with a reputable general contractor.
For property management, just google "short term rental property management near me" and call the ones with the best reviews. Ask them about occupancy rates, average nightly rate, high season, low season, what they think about the location of your property, how many properties they manage, their average property rating, etc.
Thank you so much.
We were actually looking for subs.. My husband is an AC contractor and very skilled in basically all trades. He's just too busy.
Thanks for the info on the air bnb questions.
We are also considering sticking with long term leases. But switching to having property management, rather than my husband, doing that work. We've just heard such bad things about most property management companies. Then again, dealing with the properties isn't really what we'd like to be doing.
