STR property management

[Brandon Kingcaid]

Hello, I recently purchased a triplex next to Woodlawn Lake in San Antonio TX. The property has a separate unit with a lake view that I am planning to renovate and convert to a short or midterm rental. The unit will have new foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, W/D, so maintenance will be very minimal. What should I expect as far as upfront costs for having an STR property manager help design the layout and furnishing?

I wouldn't use a property manager for that sort of thing.  I am a PM and I don't know squat about furnishings and layouts.  Find a trusty decorator there locally that you can slip $200 to give you some ideas.
