We Will be converting one of our long-term rentals into a short term rental soon. Current tenants are moving out next month. We have some work to do but hopefully will be listing as a STR by August. We are and have always been self managing. A little bit overwhelmed about getting all of the mechanics of running an STR together. Any advice? The market in this area is mainly people traveling through or coming here for work. There are several refineries being built in the area.
