Have you factored in start-up costs and accurate management cost? 

I'm eager to hear about any unconventional methods or creative approaches that could enable me to invest in real estate despite my limitations.Additionally, I'm working on expanding my skill set by taking online courses in game development and gaining experience in website design and app development.

I am looking to self manage an STR management operation.

This is my first rental property I am managing myself. 

I am a recent college graduate from UNC Charlotte and now that I have a degree in organizational management I would love to immerse myself more into the world of real estate investing.

I'm a real estate agent, investor and developer in central Houston and I'm happy to answer questions that you may have as you get rolling. - Chris Kersey 

You won't pay anything up front, only a portion of whatever they manage to collect.

We have a property management company in San Antonio.

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
