I successfully run 1 STR and have a 2nd that an inherited PM handles.I have Vrbo and Airbnb they will sync with each other with no external software.I set pricing easily by using the built in tools that Vrbo provides.Automated messages are built into both platforms.Vrbo keeps my calendar slammed, but I take direct bookings as needed, simple to do.I have no additional 3rd party fees to very sucessfuly run and manage my property needing only a a few minutes per week.

Additional details on the Umbrella policy and how to manage contractor work and ensure being an additionally insured party to the GC policy were great.I intend to create one CA LLC (without moving properties to another LLC after renovation for renting), get a good umbrella coverage policy, and ensure renovation and rental guidelines (GC insurance, Fair Housing Act, etc.).

Even if you have a property manager the  injured party is going to claim you knew about the situation or should have known, so you’re equally responsible. 

Did you every find a 3rd party service or just continue to build your own?    

I'm a very small fan of Dave Ramsey, so I'm not looking to mimic BRRR or FIRE, especially since I'm now 68 and perhaps a little late to the party.....cheers!

The code part is easier to copy but without the liquidity its meaningless.

What I have gathered through 3rd parties is that if a basement does not have access to the outside then the windows in the bedroom are considered to be the 2nd means of egress.

The business part is worth nearly zero $’s more than the cost to recreate it. 

We love 3rd party software, makes life a breeze!  

The property was acquired with the long-term vision of capitalizing on the nearby development of a casino, expected to attract workers and residents.
