Long distance short term

Garrett Middleton

Hello everyone, I’m getting close to retiring from the military and I am looking to do a short term rental in the Asheville, NC area. I would love to hear some Hurdles and ideas required to run/Manage a short term from a distance. I currently live 6 hours away and I’m moving to Norfolk this summer. I’m super excited to jump into this world but would love to get some advice.

@Garrett Middleton, property managers for STRs are very expensive. cleaning companies are too. have you considered placing a thoughtful, detailed ad online to hire someone directly? you could interview them virtually, do a background check, and establish a direct connection that would be more cost-effective to you. something to think about when the time comes..
