With their assistance, you can rest assured knowing that you have made a sound decision concerning your investment.

It is not uncommon that tenants have friends that have visited and like the property.

Even with a management company in place you would still want to visit the property periodically. 

One recent example is a guest finding used condom wrapper under the bed.3) I also visited the cabin last week with my family and noticed several issues.

Do you feel it’s important to visit and see the property, area, etc with your own eyes?

A point I haven’t seen brought up is that the clients of STR’s are more likely to be visiting the location in which the STR is located.

Anyone, here illegally or not, can use aliases and could have visited another country and committed a crime, and you'll never know it. 

What I am wondering is how much would you pay someone to do drop by visits if there is anything that needs to be handled at the units?

In presenting my offer, I let the agent know WE HAVE BEEN IN IT, WE HAVE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE, if inspection is for buyer info only, the BANK is at least assured that we will let them know Yes/No within the contingency period.
