I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

I just set up my vrbo account and still some finer details about planning the communication, cleaning service, maintenance persons, etc…

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

The last time I stayed in one, I was charged a large cleaning fee and then met with a list of what to clean prior to us leaving.

No more messing around.If they get out without issue, fix and clean whatever was done and thank your lucky stars you got out with minimal problems.

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

I realize that commercial investing is more in-line with my goals, so I have wiped my slate clean and ready to start over from the beginning.

Clean, brightly lit, clutter-free, modern luxury. 

You'll likely want someone that can handle A to Z with marketing, pricing, cleaning, maintanence, decor, websites, reviews etc.

I know they are crazy guest friendly but this seems over the top.Guest didn't deny it....responded with "I payed the cleaning fee, why would I clean up?"
