The Airbnb calculator estimated higher returns than in most places I've looked, as did local property managers.

Thanks Hey mate,You will get a much better ROI if you do it yourself.Higher cashflow and more equity in the deal.Plus, there is no such thing as "passive" even when investing in turnkey.You will still need to manage your portfolio and have a long term strategy in place.Wishing you much success

We have a property management company in San Antonio.

Can you build a portfolio that is easy to manage in one central location?

@Amery CastanedaI own a property management company in the Rio Grande Valley and can assist with any PM needs you might have.

@Jason Staine - Are you looking for agencies to manage your marketing - or advice on how to get started with digital marketing?

I am looking to self manage an STR management operation.

I own and manage several STRs here in Atlanta as well would love to connect!

.- I'm happy to share my contractor, lender (conventional, construction, or hard money), property manager, etc. contacts if you do choose to continue investing in WA.

But I would say it really comes down to management.
