Vacation Rental PM
Good Morning,
I'm headed down to Florida next week and look at potential vacation rentals and speak with some local property managers. I'm looking from some experienced insight as to some questions, maybe not the usual type, that may be good to ask managers. I know the management is somewhat different for these due to the advertising. In the area I'm looking, it looks like we can get management for between 15-20%. I just don't want to overlook any topics with these potential managers.

What I would want to know...
advertising- where, and what cost to you. Is it a shared cost between all units they manage?
can you do your own advertising, and what happens if you find your own renter for a specific period of time?
maintenance - do they have a person to handle that for you? Cost to you?
Cleaning- do they have a regular crew to handle this?
What is included in their PM fees?
Who stocks the unit with supplies ( toilet paper, soaps, etc). And what is the cost to you?
Good luck!
