I manage and own some STRs. 

Been with a handful of property managers during that time.

I do not have 5 layers of management that make my rates higher, no lender I work with pays for my office space, licensing, benefits, marketing department, compliance department.... 

I am also planning on using a property manager as I have an 8 - 5 full time job.

I graduated from college in May, and I am currently doing business development (sales) for a property management company while studying for my RE license.

Because you live on the property, management will be easier.

Wrong Property Management ApproachIt doesn’t matter how good the people who are doing the property management are, if they are not using a property management approach designed for co-living, everyone loses.  

I ended up getting around 9 deals under-contract, while constantly being pressured by my manager to get more deals under-contract or he would publicly mock us in front of everybody.

Looks like most every other all in one management tool.

A bit concerning if the market takes a turn but overall and overtime we will be in a good postion.PS - Since 2003, Dean & DeWitt Property Management has helped investors buy, sell, and manage investment properties in the St.
