I have 0 experience managing STR properties, but lots of experience using Airbnb from my travels 😅 I am halfway reading Avery Carl’s book on STR.

, maintenance (5%), and PM (10-12%) if you choose to not self manage. 

Hire a property management company who will manage it for you.

Or hire a PM company to manage for you?

I do have some investment experience and I'm currently managing 1 property, all the numbers are great and there's a good amount of cash flow and long term growth so I'm not a total green horn. 

I am based in Virginia and licensing requirements here seem manageable.

I also recommend you start looking for a professional property manager, at least until you educate yourself enough to run this solo.

My top recommendation is to begin by contacting property management companies in each target area.

I manage the program for one so I wanted to provide good questions to ask.

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice.
