I’m looking to manage a few short-term rentals in the area and would love to hear from experienced hosts or managers about what it takes to excel in this space.Here are a few questions I’d love to get your thoughts on:What skills or qualities make a great property manager?

@Chris Seveney and @Stuart Udis and @Jay Hinrichs have posted excellent analysis.  

I've been an excellent student of calculating repair costs and ARV.

There are some excellent posters on BP but occasionally some go beyond what I think is appropriate for lay persons.

Have about 50k I would invest (access to more), with excellent credit and good income too, from my full time job.

Here’s why I’m asking: I have an Excel model that analyzes deals for a specific region.

Achieving excellence in anything generally requires an extreme amount of dedication and time commitment, time that could have been spent doing a thousand other things.

My takeaway after more than a decade of experience is that Section 8 can be an excellent way to diversify your portfolio, but I wouldn’t recommend relying on it exclusively.If you have any questions or want to dive deeper into the specifics, feel free to reach out.

Hi Henry,You’ve mentioned some excellent points about the complexities of scaling a portfolio in Europe and the importance of understanding local markets.

Excellent, @Chris Harper.
