Having one nearby so that you can manage it better means that you will spend more time cleaning and maintaining rather than hiring someone else to do it and thereby get host burnout in a few months time.

Anyway, my company is a very boutique style company.

There are likely some in person real estate networking events in Tucson please go check them out and talk to as many people as possible...particularly make friends with the host. 

Covid saw an increase in second-home purchases and Airbnb investments, and those have increased the supply of STRs and vacation rentals in most markets, which inversely has decreased revenues and average daily rates for most hosts. 

I got the idea when I traveled overseas and my hosts offered free Netflix.

It can run buy, arbitrage, and co-host scenarios very quickly and easily. 

Currently, since I'm an out of town investor, I pay someone once a month to host an Open House for me. 

As an STR/MTR host & co-host in Metro Atlanta, I’d recommend house hacking a duplex to start.

At the same time, many hosts and investors jumped into STRs during this same time period which created an excess of supply in many travel destinations that wound up saturating those markets.

Your neighbors own their lots as shares in an LLC which purchased the land, and operate under a Private Membership Agreement to insure they are a good fit and willing to play their part and contribute to the well being of the community.My vision is in this vein, with the addition of workshops and retreats (yoga, wellness, ptsd recovery etc) which the community would host.
