The difference between the cost for a specific repair / renovation if you have a crew or need to find someone on a first time basis can be significant. 

I'm a STR owner / manager located in Texas (Bryan /College Station, TX specifically.) 

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help! 

I'm also looking to get my hands on a good calculator for short term rentals since I'm terrible with Excel and only have a calculator for long term rentals that I know is missing sections that are specific to short term.Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated :) BiggerPockets has an Airbnb calculator, and I see that you're a pro member.Since you've read the STR book and done other education, you know HOW to pick a market lol.

Have you ever seen rents actually go lower (I'd assume this would only happen if occupancy dropped significantly, but that seems like something that could happen in a recession).Also a BAM specific question/concern - from what I understand they are based in Indiana, and I see in their current open offering one of the properties is in Indiana (great) but I'm wondering why the other property is in Arkansas? 

Are you interested in a specific startegy (brrrrs, flips, vacation rentals, etc)?

You’ll learn a lot from others’ experiences and get answers to specific questions.2.Use the Networking Feature: Connect with other members in your area or those with similar investing interests.

I think you need to be more specific.

Feel free to reach out if you need any guidance or have questions about property management specifics!

But the likelihood of success with that depends on the specific street.
