Plenty of STRs that perform just as good as the pool STRs because they have a great design, location, or other fun amenities that have less liability and headache.

I'm a Realtor, property manager, and investor in San Angelo.

As a contractor and cabinet maker it made much more sense financially to purchase a home with a rental unit and manage the property myself.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

, maintenance (5%), and PM (10-12%) if you choose to not self manage. 

I think it would be beneficial to set up your own management company to manage your assets.

I'm an investor and realtor located in the area and happy to chat ideas & strategies and see how I can help. 

Just the other day I was able to close for a seller who is living in Taiwan and I'm located in Utah.

My property manager says there was no indication that the tenants are at fault.

Biggest struggle is finding deals that make sense where the numbers work and in locations that would work for STR.
