I have been following the Real Estate Investing industry for a while and just recently decided to put my focus into it and implement a plan I had in mind for years.So I went down to Puerto Vallarta I put together a team of local realtors, brokers, contractors, property managers and a lawyer. 

I’m in the process of managing 18 units and have a full-time job.

Having a great self-storage facility software for online management is key!!

A major part of the success or failure of an STR investment is the design, furnishing and management plan.

Lastly, there will be no management fees!

Then pay them a fee for finding the deal and pay them 8-10% of rents to manage the rental(s).

Not only couldn’t the investors hire management for the promised 8% of gross, they couldn’t get management to work for 25% of gross!.
