I have found many websites, but they are for fix and flix situations or a calc sheet to get approved/join their lending services.

You have to earn some stripes through unfortunate situations like that to be a better investor.

Get bids from multiple GCs.

It's a win win situation in my view.Sorry for being so simple but the space is limited.Anyway good discussion points

@Haarden Shah...as a broker who has closed multiple transactions with ESC on both DSCR + ground up/flip side, it's completely legitimate. 

From most OOS investors I am speaking to this is where most of the attention is, so be prepared for competition - seems that this forum was revived from the dead but to answer the original question with a few practices you can manage the air-bnb yourself to get higher occupancy, I would recommend educating yourself on tricks for the platform those will make the biggest difference - definitely helps having someone take care of your air-bnb account and for completely hands off investing do that but just previewing/welcoming who comes in can be done remotely in a professional manner I have seen it done in multiple states. 

What’s also interesting about this situation is that we purchased the property March 1, 2020, and within 5 months lost 4 of the 6 tenants during Covid shut down!  

I wouldn't trust the advice I would get on these forums for your situation.

Hi everyone (and thanks for the time and support you guys give to the rookies),I am in the same situation of Luke E.
