@Mia Crampton if you can’t generate more income than someone who wants to pay you monthly and arbitrage your property then you shouldn’t be in the VR biz.

Just go on VRBO/ AirBnB and contact them through their listing (also a great way to get some great info about the area, complex, home owners association, etc...).My only challenge for investing from afar is that I'm normally a very hands on type of person, so giving up some control to a PM wasn't the easiest thing for me to do, but it has all worked out very well.We visit our VR at least once a year.  

In Hawaii, that local knowledge can go a long ways towards getting financing for a VR or investment property that the big, mainland banks won't do.

Hey @Neal CollinsGreat advice for getting into the VR space.  

I have no urge to tell people and tweet I am going to the bathroom or eating dinner with somebody etc.I think some times should be private and you need to disconnect.All of these social sites can become compulsive and unhealthy if over engaged.I use to post to 40 social networking sites at once but some are just people trying to sell porn or contact you with crap.I am interested in QUALITY of contacts and not just VOLUME of contacts.I have a twitter account but I don't use it at all.Might eventually just employ a local person to keep up with all of this stuff.

Not only will you be saving money but you need to learn what a STR/VR property manager does and what they should be doing.

Carrie, can vr’s make money on Maui?
