However, when I design my own house in the future, I plan to accomplish this in addition to other green energy features.

What specific features are you looking for in a property?

.* And for low performing properties one of the features i really like is you can make a change to your listing - lets say update the property description, log it, then see if this makes any chances in your placement.I'm not affiliated with them but think its a great tool to turn around poor performing properties - assuming the STR is competitive compared to your competition.I agree with Henry that you can probably do better self-managing IF you have the time and appetite for dealing with guests and learning the dos and don't....Heres is the turnaround of one of our Floridas STR that was lagging - now back to near the top on the first page.  

I am not a mortgage broker, but my limited knowledge is you can (if you financially qualify) and the property has different second home features it is possible. 

Instead we focus on building out a system that is setup to handle multiple projects at a time, with multiple feature deals in the pipeline ready to go once capital is available again.

Obviously during the renovation process we tend to focus on functionality and cosmetic features.

I use Baselane for most tenant-related features including tenant vetting, developing the lease, collecting deposits, collecting rents and for all my bookkeeping related features.
