As Michael said get on Vrbo and Airbnb, then synch your calendars with built in tools.Get a great cleaner and locate a handyman and your off and running without the 30% fees.

It is also important to put in the lease that if rent is not paid by a certain date in the calendar month it will be considered late and subject to a late fee.

If you go this route hide a lockbox for emergencies.I also have wifi thermostats so I can save on electricity wen no one is there.I also have a high end outdoor only camera system that sends me alerts on motion so that I can keep an eye on who is coming and going.Once you are set up it is pretty easy to self manage.I have HA/VRBO and Airbnb and the calendars synchronize to stay updated.
