I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

Just work the platform.

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

Still, it is worth it.Think of FF as a lead generator and not a booking platform.
