My team hasn't set up any STRs in the Dominican Republic but we had acquired some STRs in Costa Rica which we had thought we're going to turn out well but we had a few issues to note:- Cashflow issues: Since we are basing our reservations on another currency we couldn't charge as much as we were hoping for. - Finding a Good Team: Since there is a language barrier in place it was much harder to communicate with any cleaning companies/property managers we found.

If you set standards and stick with them, you'll catch shenanigans like this.The policy should be that every adult passes your screening, period.

You should get some more estimates, but what you are really trying to do is to find someone who has a license and insurance to do it for the cheapest price and that will set off a chain of events that will never end.It's more likely that you bought the house with a wrong scope of work done because you don't have a GC and thought you could DIY it.

For VT cabins, I also have family that have been running a million dollar set of log cabins by Killington in Vermont for over a decade.
