Have a str and looking to learn self manage.

Any tips on managing the property efficiently, especially considering my limited time and technical skills?

Our efficient project management ensured the renovations were completed swiftly and within budget.

My name is Ryan Montes, and I am a branch manager with Change Home Mortgage, based out of Anaheim Hills, CA. 

Hello Bigger Pockets Family, I’m looking to invest in real estate as well as start my own property management company I have my LLC already .

You likely won't be able to offset the rental loss with your W-2 income unless you can claim real estate professional status or operate it as a STR and self-manage it.The answer won't change even if you own the property inside of an LLC.Best of luck.

We use Booking Pal as a Channel Manager and our properties are on Google Vacation Rentals. 

@Barb F.happy to help - your first rental is a big stepbut... you should hire a property manager - they'll handle screening, the lease, the move in, etc. 

@Daniel KebedeRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
