STR property management fee

In your opinion, is 30% a reasonable fee to pay a property manager to do the following:

- Arrange for interior designer/furnishing property (actual expenses I have to pay)

- Promote/advertise rental and respond to all inquiries and manage bookings and provide guest reviews

- Arrange for cleaners and maintenance when needed.  Lawn care and snow removal too.

- Provide all consumables (shampoo, toilet paper, soap, etc.)

Assume I am NOT interested in doing this myself to save money.

Take the 30% off your revenue and you are left with the profit you would probably make with a LTR.

If you're going to run a STR, you should be the PM. I've got 83 beds in 23 doors. The only person I pay is the plumber when he has to run a roto-rooter. The only reason I pay for this service is that I don't like feces on my hands. Running a roto-rooter is a shippy job.
