Hey everyone,I’ve got a friend who own’s a very large home with a pool, and is trying to find someone who can be her short term rental manager.

I'm a broker, investor, and PM here in Sacramento -- we manage over 100 investment properties, mostly STR and MTR. 

BP is a fantastic resource for learning about real estate investing, rental property management, financing options, market analysis, and much more.

What kinds of software have you used to manage your properties that you would recommend?
