Returns have been fantastic and I do believe it is a strong, up-and-coming market not many are talking about.One thing not many investors talk about with STRS is going the experiential route and leveraging social media to drive tons of bookings. 

Could be SEO, admin work, investor relations, social media management, asset management, etc.

I don't get on IG or social much. 

If you contact zillow through a bunch of ways (they also have social media outlets where you can comment, and that's what we did, in addition to all the other methods of contacting them) my understanding is they eventually do get back to you and are reasonable in resolving matters. 

@Sai Kumar Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You can also offer to assist them in small ways, like researching properties or helping with social media.

Started marketing the STR outside of the OTAs via social media.So what's everyone's thoughts on my receipe above?

All the social media accounts and gurus are no longer touting how to strike it rich in real estate.  

So, agents do not use anything more sophisticated than posting to social media?
