We own the listing and self manage.

I am a voice of common sense and help them come up with the best way to manage STRs.

Really well managed, and great communication.

Tried it years ago when we starting managing MTRs and had zero inquiries or bookings from them.

There's plenty of information on how to find a good market with a quality property manager.

I am a landlord and self manage my units.  

Hi Karla from Montreal, Canada-You ask an interesting question.Should your first real estate investment be new construction, since you and your partner have construction management experience, or flipping an existing home as you originally thought you would?

But I know it would make a good MTR, and managing it from next door would be easy peasy.  

If you have limited prior experience owning / operating multifamily assets, they'll also require you to use a professional property manager with multifamily experience.

I own a STR/MTR property management company here in SoCal.
