I just think it is vital to have some boots on the ground in the city where the investment property is, especially for smaller operators. 

The owner is an older gentleman and has managed this property for years.

You can't have 2 listings for same property on same platform.You could have a seperate houfy (or similar) account for direct bookings.

I think the major branches of STR that owners need to know are -Financing, Market Research (you technically have it already in Cape Coral), Property Selection (what makes good STRs, regulations, analyzing, etc.), Designing and Furnishing (amenities, design, theme, linens, etc), and operating (Insurance, Property management or self-management, Tech & Tools, Cleaners & handy people, etc)All of these could be covered depending on who you work with that can cover each topic. 

My second is that the c corp may not be the best vehicle for buy and hold investing.My goals:Short term: 2-4 rental properties in 18 months.

How do you manage your properties? 

I am comfortable for a property upto 200K with 20% down.

In my experience, REITs are terrible at managing their property.  

I'm Ivan Coelho, a new investor based in Miami, FL, and I'm excited to connect with fellow investors who are interested in exploring collaborative deals in our vibrant city.Currently, I'm house hacking a 4/3 single-family property in the Miami Dade area.

AS John points out, yes, we do have LOC products for investment properties in Texas.
