As for my Airbnb research, I have spoken with a person who runs numerous Airbnb’s in a different area (city atmosphere) who provided good ideas on how to smoothly run the property.

Some FSBO transactions were smooth but others were challenging.

When developing, I'd first talk with the city building/zoning about what they want to see more of and where, and try a simple project that should be smooth sailing on plan approvals, saving you time and money. 

It’s all part of creating a smooth, professional landlord-tenant relationship.

So, our PM company charges a sliding scale of between 5-20% based on the size of the repair (more expensive means they charge less as a percentage.)

Pretty smooth and zero effort required. 

That has gone smoothly with the exception of one unit that I have my disabled brother living in.

Just be ready for the ride...it’s not always smooth sailing, but if you play it right, those jitters can turn into some seriously sweet returns.And if you do end up jumping on a short-term rental in Tampa Bay, just pick up the phone and let's dig into it.

Make sure you’re connected with reliable contractors and property managers who can act as your boots on the ground to keep everything running smoothly.

Went smoothly, and he got the deal done.
