I am currently searching for a job in property management because I feel it will give me solid experience and knowledge to tackle my own properties one day (and I am in need of a career change).

I'm hoping to tap into the wisdom of fellow STR Management operators here.

If the property manager uses a payment app integrated with the property management software to collect rent for the landlord, this is not gross income for the property manager.

The asset management piece of investing is not focused on enough, in my opinion. 

., so do you mean living in one state while a local PM manages a STR for you in the other state?

Quote from @Dawn Harris: We have a STR managed by a property management company.

I didn't hire my first assistant until I had 150 doors under management.

I'm starting a property management company and I'm curious to know how people have marketed themselves online.

If you are someone who has a bigger portfolio that you manage I would suggest appfolio or yardi.  

Really reaching out today to see if anyone has a good recommended software they use for material list organization & construction management softwares.
