I used Hostaway for the last year and the they recently snuck in a 1.8% fee for our direct booking site.

It is not on your typical zillow/redfin/trulia site as she said it is directly from the seller. 

It's questions like these that make me glad that this site/forum exists.

A good place to get an idea of what they look like is to go to one of the crowdfunding sites.

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

Questions like this often get better and more actionable responses.Also, keep in mind that while this site is an incredible resource, opinions can sometimes come across as blunt.

Then you can self manage and be on site.

Than be smart, site back and listen, take it all in, be a good student. 

I am in the Charlotte market and surrounding, and I do everything from luxury $950k-$2MM to starter homes from $250k to $300k and townhome sites.

Bigger Pockets is the right place to come for resources as there are plenty on the site here.
