You should be getting more personal, not less personal.

While rental demand is going down, there continue to be more people purchasing properties for personal use in turn causing there to be an overall shortage of rental units available in season.

These same owners also have no problem paying an attorney or CPA $150/hour or more.Many owners also don't respect their PMCs and try to treat them like a personal assistant at their beck & call.

STR and MTR investing is a different animal all together taking you from housing to hospitality and requires more of a time suck than many initially realize. i personally only do long term rentals and students. i do have a property in mind and making the connections to transition it into a sober living home. excited to see how that shakes out. 

For me personally I learned that I want to very much limit debt I would rather only have a handful of assets that are very nice but they are paid for.. as opposed to 100 rentals with max debt and all the work that comes with it.. 

I was emailing a couple property managers and I got banned when I tried to email the third manager. 

Don't take this personally, but that is not considered particularly attractive granite, it's old school 'speckled' granite.

Driving traffic to your direct booking site, if you have one, can definitely be a challenge but I personally believe it's becoming more important all the time, particularly for STR. 

Just send me a DM with your email and we'll get a call on the calendar!

.- Continual market analysis to keep your prices neither too high or too low- For software, you'll need a PMS, some system for tracking operations tasks (we use Breezeway), communications tools for internal and external (we use Slack and OpenPhone, respectively)- The decision to self manage or outsource is a very personal one.
