Property Management team would do all that and charge 8-10%, which would be $3158.40-3948. 

Having a solid team around you like agent, lender etc.

10% is probably a little steep, and like John said, a flat fee may be more reasonable.Setting up a proper STR is not cheap, but once you are set up properly, you deal with routine breakage.I recommend managing yourself and saving the 20% personally, getting a rockstar cleaning team and a reliable handy person, using something like Hospitable that can help automate messaging when listing, and reading the book from the bookstore here called Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth.

We have a dedicated leasing team that leases all our properties with extensive background checks to find the right tenant not just the first.

Recommendations might be different based on your plan, budget, local team etc...

Don’t have a team of editors, yet.** The preceding has been my opinion only, the views are my own, and are intended for educational and entertainment purposes only and do not constitute financial advice.

I have listened to many podcasts, networked quite a bit, and read a ton of articles - but at this point I am just overwhelmed/lost with what is the best route to go down today with the way the market is to cash flow because there are so many creative ideas out there.

And the cost to mitigate was over 1 mil.. so we just had to fence it off and we lost I think3 or 4 lots but did not have to do the work.. lot values at the time ( late 80s) were 125k each but we did not have to run utls which was 30k each ..

They are on the other team.

If the renter leaves, do I have any way of recouping the lost rent due to this issue since it's a month to month setup?
