The managers are non-communicative.

Prompt, great communication, efficient ... and most importantly they are 100% legit 😉

Why ask: Knowing the mentor's expectations will help you prepare for what’s required in terms of effort, communication, and engagement in the program.Asking these questions will ensure you make an informed decision about whether the mentorship program is a good fit for you and your goals.

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

A good manager will handle tenant communication, security deposit transfers, and ensure a smooth transition for you.Changing managers doesn’t have to be difficult—following the agreement and partnering with a competent new PM will help you get things back on track.
