I also own a small STR property management company and own two STRs out of town that I operate remotely.

The area is a little far from town and is on a big lot in the country so it targets a specific renter.

Once you buy a few the deals start coming from all places you wouldn't expect.I met a business owner in town and became friends.

Roku TVs have a built-in guest mode for exactly this purpose. 

Built in 2021. 4 bedroom/ 3 baths.

Nothing is 100% passive but if you work with someone how has already built a team you can benefit from their experience. 

Only the shell was left intact, and everything else was built from scratch.

Hi Frank, sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation and have exciting plans ahead - If you're planning to scale, you might also want to explore hard money loans or DSCR loans alongside private lending.

I built this budget template based on my research but am only seeing bad investment returns / don't really know what I'm doing and would appreciate any feedback you all have to offer.

I would also caution if you are intending on a vacation rental be very cautious of the individual town restrictions.
