Versus professionals drumming up business.  

Seems like 130 units is a beast to manage, I'd love to hear about your on-site management systems and "experience management" process to stand out amongst the fierce competition in the smokies. 

Have some real estate under my belt but looking into Short term rentals opposed to long term rentals.Wondering if there is a stand out book to read to gain understanding for Australian Short Term rental market/AIRBNB.Also if there is a specific group for Australians and short term rentals for Australian market/Australian tax system etc, do point me to that.Rod

Get into details on how renovations are done with units occupied, what systems they use to mitigate tenant fraud on applications, how they set price levels for the units?  

Since you plan to travel often, focusing on systems and building a reliable team: agent, lender, property manager, and contractor. 

Since merging my company with Southern Impression homes 2 years ago, we have made a lot of strides in growing our PM department and client systems.

Truthfully it is really pretty easy if you put the right systems in place.

You can argue I need a property management company and that I’m too lenient but this system is working for me.

I would argue that they are young so they haven't been burned by bad landlords or even know how to take advantage of the system.

In my experience, however, I don't think there are much benefit from doing this versus just opening a new LLC for your PA investments.
