I have a feeling just starting out my home is not going to get much exposure on sites like air bnb or vrbo until I get some good reviews.If anyone has experience in this market I would be intrigued to hear how best to manage my new STR.

Since your goal is getting into commercial real estate, it might make sense to start with a smaller rental property like a duplex to get experience managing an investment.

Self-purchased and managed.

It is our hope no one in Blue Metrix is a victim of such an aggressive business tactic while part of their management team faces such a difficult health challenge.

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

If your company were to manage the STR in CR how do you deal with matter of safety / home burglaries? 

A scenario like that would likely result in getting your entire investment back upon refi and also a nice cash-flowing rental to manage.   

Oh man- welcome to self management.

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.

From experience, finding a knowledgeable accountant is key for handling taxes effectively, especially when splitting expenses, claiming deductions, and managing depreciation.
