Having your handyman do showings could be a solution, but keep in mind that if he’s not experienced in tenant screening, it could expose you to more risk, especially with squatters or less reliable tenants.You mentioned using something like Showmojo for smart access, which is great for efficiency, but I’d suggest ensuring you have solid procedures for background checks and tenant screening if you go that route.As someone who’s owned a property management company for 5+ years and manages over 300 units, I’ve seen the impact of not properly screening tenants.

You also should have better screened the PMC before hiring them - a common mistake!

Your set in notion that all doing STR would not consider anything less, doing arbitrage, your flat wrong.

@Oli HarpsTo manage your Oakland 4-plex effectively, stay informed about the local market, build local connections, conduct thorough tenant screening, consider value-add opportunities, decide whether to self-manage or hire a property management company, network with local investors, plan for growth through scaling your portfolio, explore financing options, and stay informed about the local market through online communities and resources.

TIARV Park AND Self Storage~4 acres, commercial for $120K (google maps link)Pros: In city, city water & sewer nearby, city allows both rv park AND self storage in Commercial zone, ~$50K worth of timber on propertyCons: Neighbors nearby, traffic visibility not as good here, land needs to be logged/cleaned up - not a big deal reallySelf storage constructed probably out of shipping containers~3 acres, industrial for $135K (google maps link)Pros: clear flat land, higher traffic count between the coast and I5, seller will carry loanCons: zoning does not allow for RV Park, city services unavailable

You would then do the math to remove that exemption and see what the resulting yearly tax amount would be.Since it's your first time being a landlord, it might make sense to utilize a property management company or agent to find and screen a good tenant.

Best,JacksonUsing ChatGPT-generated responses adds no value to a discussion of Colorado STRs but more importantly ... much of this is flat-out incorrect information.First off, it's laughable that "Breckenridge" would be proposed as an option for a first-time investor.

If you have a good screening process that checks all aspects of their background, you'll weed them out through other means.

What source do you use for:- screening criminal background- how much they make- any step by step that would be good to get them in.
