Maintenance free and automated.

Im spending about $10,000 a month :0Obviously different running PM company, but:- PMS- Pricing- Automations (locks)- Web hosting- AirDNA pro- Docusign- EZCare- Channel Manager- LSI Tools- SlackProbably forgetting some. 

Automated online systems also are great with late fees and other fees.  

It's an easy, cheap, and automated way to stay stop of mind.

But almost everyone I know says the same thing:You create the listing and send it for approval.You immediately get a call from the automated service verifying some of the facts about the property.Then you sit and wait.

A property management company can take this burden entirely from your shoulders and perform the management functions in a more systematized and automated manner, saving the landlord countless hours of time and effort.

maybe look into do a month to month lease in the off season and str in the peak season. possibly travel nurses in the off season. if you do go the str route there is many ways to automate your systems to make it easier for you so its not another job.

I used the August Yale ones for a bit and they work fairly well sending out automated codes but if the cube ever gets disconnected than it wont send codes.

If you add on the List Automation service for $25/mo additional the skips drop to $0.10 each and the data is pretty good.  

If you’re not able to find a PM or cohost you could always build the team yourself while still living in the area and set up the operations to be fairly automated.
