The logistics are semi consistent; VRBO and Airbnb will be the same, handling inquiries and cleaners will also be the same.

So if you had a licensed inn or hotel, all suites of 3-5 bedrooms, say 5 suites, for a total of 20 beds, property has a pool as well, no front desk/concierge, What would you pay a property manager to basically manage the cleaners (come at end of each stay, and for a fee on demand), respond to inquiries/complaints, handle and schedule maintenance/repairmen, handle bookings and do the marketing function?

Seems like it might make life a lot easier with automating the communication between turnovers with your cleaners.

@Adrian Langdon You can use Turnoverbnb for cleaners, you can use these BP forums for contractors, and property managers.

Another big problem you’ll have in the Poconos is that contractors & service professionals & cleaners & handymen have a habit of being SOOOO unreliable that there’s actually a term for it: the Pocono Promise.

I am a carpet cleaner.

Realtor says second unit is nicer and cleaner than the one I saw.

at $2700 income per month or $900 per unit, I would definately want to be in this for $135K or less depending on work needed...other things to consider, starting in importance... (1) how is the immediate area(doesnt have to be top areas but cant be war zones or you'll end up w/ worst of worst, even those cities mentioned above have decent working class neighborhoods left)... (2) is it deleaded, w/ 3 bedroom units you will get calls mostly from ppl w. kids, learn lead laws if you dont know em already (3) utilities make sure tenants pay own utilities especially heat or they'll take you to the cleaners (4) condition, make sure its clean, make sure hallways are clean and paint everything, shine up hardwood floors if they have them, those houses usually have them...(5) water and sewer, your estimates seem low, i would be doubling that #...my water and sewer bills are through the roof lately...

We are making this apartment a cleaner and safer for our tenants.

Hello-We have 1 STR in Door County, WI and our cleaners just informed us that they are not going to clean for individual STRs and only focus on their property management clients.
