Unfortunately, this will take some time, money, and effort.

again, while the savings are not insignificant, it just seems like a lot of effort and definitely wouldn't be worth it to me.

Definitely takes time and effort. 

He typically achieves good return on his efforts but I do not believe I ever saw/heard his final numbers of this effort.  

Yeah just spoke to my lawyer and he suggested a F*** off letter but the tenants are coming around knowing it was their fault but out of not having to deal with it they may settle with 3 months of free rent (~$7k worth) to sign off on a global agreement with my attorney. 

While the outcome is uncertain, to the extent our effort is successful, it is our intent to distribute any recovered proceeds to all affected.

You also need to consider the effort and time required to manage a short-term rental compared to a long term. 

As an example, the highest designation (MPM-Master Property Manager which I have) means that you have to have practical experience (you need 500 unit years- meaning if you managed 100 units, it would take you a minimum of 5 years), education (24 hours minimum of formal classes- or 3 days for this designation) as well as letters of recommendation from clients as well as peers (other MPMs) and you have to invest time in the property management organization be it locally, state-wide or nationally over YEARS.So the designation process, including those that are in their candidacy, takes a lot of effort and you grow through the process in many ways including wisdom (a lot actually)! 

There’s nobody better to help you than @Dave FosterJust make sure if you go that route it’s worth the time/effort/dolalrs…If you sell for $110k you might only net $100k (or less).

Go to some REIA meetings, get some business cards and recommendations, and really put some time and effort into getting set up?
