I have purchased materials before and contractors refused to use them, typically due to poor quality.

I will try and have some quality of life features like a kitchenette, storage, and locked bedroom doors.

Challenges: Finding a quality electrician, fixing the leaky basement.For some reason, I cannot find a quality electrician.

Better shot at getting the rent you want and maybe a better quality tenant. 

Then you have to account for your time and quality of life living next to a construction project.

However, there are pros and cons to this approach:Pros:Streamlined Operations: Property managers can integrate their systems more efficiently, leading to potentially better management and guest experiences.Experience and Optimization: They might have established profiles with good ratings and reviews, which can help attract more bookings.Cons:Loss of Control: If you stop working with the property manager, you could lose access to the listing and the reviews associated with it.Dependency: Your business becomes more reliant on the property manager, which could be problematic if the relationship sours or if their service quality declines.As an experienced STR manager, you're already familiar with many aspects of managing rentals.

And I don't think they would do a quality job honestly.

However, only do this if the property is below market quality and you are bringing it up to market quality.

Those in semi gloss look like what they are, poor quality knockoffs of the real thing.
