I wonder if BP could start a therapy group for folks who can't seem to stop doing their own maintenance work on properties :) I hope you have a great weekend.

So I wonder what is the motivation for folks to be using vrbo 

I would say that if you are in need of those reservations to make the deal work, it is the wrong deal.A lot of folks who buy a operating STR contact the bookings and have them cancel and rebook on your new listing.

ALL you care about is NET, cant pay your bills with gross :) DP, down paymentEM earnest moneyOk now pay me 10k LOL,  We need to "go guru" mateCrazy how much cheese some folks are making... lol

You'll get crucified by the folks that say make your tenant pay it for you.

Ya 15 folks said they wanted to till I put a 400page book in front of them and told them to summarize it and then I will bring you on to the next step.  

Talk to folks who know a lot about real estate, finance experts, and pros for advice tailored to you.

for the FWIW file and congrats on selling your bizz thats a nice payday.most of the folks I have done bizz with over the years that are very liquid will buy as high end of rentals as they can  IE A class and put professional management in there. many states require on site manager over a certain amount of units as well.. so the PM is really managing this employee that is mandatory for you to have.. this could work well for you you manage the on site manager let them do the dirty work and you stay engaged and gives you something to do.. good luck with it..

Looking for advice/strategy from like-minded, anti-risk, I want to maximize cash flow type folks.
