I am looking at a property that I would like to use the 14 nights a year one night at a time and to park my boat so I dont have to haul it all the way from Vegas to my happy fishing holes.

So maximizing revenue is not important but I would like to cover fixed expenses taxs insurance utls etc there would be no mortgage so maybe make 500 to 1k a month would be just fine.. And it satisfies my 1031 were I dont have to replace debt.

this area seems to attract gamblers and golfers Just over the Utah NV border..

So thinking a full blown manager is not going to be interested and not sure I can navigate VRBO or airbnb myself anyway..

question would be can one just put it on zillow or whatever get a local cleaner for the few nights it would be rented and call it a day ??

Vrbo and Airbnb is really easy to set up. Probably even easier now days.

.I keep my boat and jet skiis at my lake house too.

Remember that days you are at the property and working on the property don't count against your 14 day personal usage.

I always have small projects that need to be worked on.
