Hi, Everyone,My name is Marc Bowman and I work with a short term vacation rental software company.

I'd recommend starting with a solid market analysis to find an area with high rental demand—look at vacation spots or areas with events that draw consistent visitors.

My questions here:For a vacation rental in a more remote location, what should I consider when restoring and maintaining a property of this size?

When a tenant vacates, who will collect the keys, conduct the move-out inspection, coordinate with vendors, inspect the vendors' work, change locks, conduct showings, etc?

However, Muskoka is a huge tourist area that attracts a large vacation population each summer. 

- How will you get them to vacate?

In my experience Realtors don't enjoy working for free.

Whether it’s exploring new investment strategies or diving deeper into commercial appraisals, I’m excited to engage in meaningful discussions.In my spare time, I enjoy renovating properties and spending time with my family.Looking forward to being part of this amazing community and growing alongside everyone here!
