He announces his live presence at his home office right where boats can drive by on the water, and it's not safe.

I grew up in RI and my dad is a carpenter in the area (was as my parents recently moved to FL) but that got me into that market with some local presence as I stayed in the Boston area. (4) properties and 14 units later, I still find myself investing in RI as the price point is about half of Boston but the cash flow is similar.

He is obviously doing very well as a STR host but his mentorship is pretty expensive for not having much of an online presence. 

From my experience, here are a few property management companies that my clients have worked with:ERA Solutions: They have a strong presence in C-class neighborhoods.Realize Property Management: Better suited for A and B-class neighborhoods, though they do manage some C-class properties.Ohio Elite Management: Primarily focuses on B and C-class neighborhoods.

I've been an STR host for 2 years for my 2 STRs,  I want to do this for 2 or 3 more years and build up as many cabin clusters (starting with the 10 I'll own this spring) and maybe additional SFH, as much of a direct booking presence as possible and as much goodwill in the OTA listings, then either sell it all to someone or hire someone to operate the entirety.

While there is good reason for the frustration caused by the delay in this project, last night, proof was provided that the project is moving forward in form of the presence of a successful and powerful local company joining the project.

John - Would love to hear more about your NC project as we have a good presence out there as well (1-Mars Hill, 1-Burnsville, 4-Hendersonville). 

There is no fooling the eye when the work is simply not done.Rommel had began to bark at them and was getting territorial, although I should mention that Romy is only about six months old at this point, literally he is a puppy.

@John Clark I think the viable path to a presence element is huge.
