Most of the bad noise right now is about downtown skyscrapers and REIT or Syndication apartment complexes where they played short term versus long term interest rates wrong.  

Until now I hasn’t considered that the shut down of Tik Tok would potentially lead to a consolidation of viewership.

In short, yes PS can do everything DM can do and more.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

If this were my property, I’d run a detailed rental analysis (from what I’ve read in Forbes) to see if the short term route could outpace traditional leasing.

Most agents paying for leads are inexperienced, which is why they need to pay for leads.Look for an agent with a minimum of 15 years of active experience.

In short, having all the conversations and commitments in strategy, setting up LLC and all the fun docs of who's doing what, and I'd suggest even getting initial funding into account for at least EM. 

What started off as primarily a second home with the possibility of short term leasing quickly flipped to a STR first and a second home when not rented because demand is so strong right now for STR's in this area. 

Any idea of lead times? 

Currently my short-term management property is managed by the property management company.
