I'm the Managing Broker from Premier Agent Network in CO and we're 100% commission. 

We manage almost 700 doors with about 100 Section 8 tenants.Leverage our knowledge for your gain:)

Cons: we live 7 hours away from the property and would have to find a property manager.

I have a client that is asking me to manage a short term rental for them and i wanted to get some insight from anyone thats managing an STR currently as I have no experience in this field.

@Orane JacobsWhen thinking about venturing into a new market for house hacking using a VA Loan, it's important to look at various factors like the cost of housing, how much demand there is for rentals, the job market, economic conditions, how fast the population is growing, what amenities are available, and the resources for managing properties.

PLEASE get a property manager.

If you are local self managing is not that difficult, you just have to have the mind for creating and following a process.

From the property management perspective, yes...hot tubs (actually in-ground spas) can be a pain.

How have you done with expenses, quality of tenants, turnover, cash flow, their property management team, customer service, etc.  

I would prefer a brand new or newer home as I would be managing it from Miami and rather not use a management company.
