That's awesome. The place looks great. 

Thanks, Alex. Makes sense to me! 

Michael, thank you so much for that! I know how important reviews are to this business, so this is a big deal. For locations too far for me to travel, I will need a management company, but will be looking at the independent managers instead. Once I decide where, I'm sure I can connect with good folks on here. Thanks again.  

Thanks, Michael. I'll do that. John, do you mind giving a few reasons why you feel that way and what you would recommend instead? 

Hi BP. I am ready to get started in the STR market, and I'm a little overwhelmed. (I have previous experience with LTR of 3 condos I no longer own.) I want to hit the ground running and cannot afford to make costly mistakes.

Although my intention is to buy my first property within an hour's drive, so I can clean/oversee it myself (to start), I'd still like to have the guidance in finding/purchasing the right property and perhaps to handle the marketing. I then intend to get a second (or more) outside of my area, where a property manager will definitely be needed. 

I was about to subscribe to AirDNA to do my research, but then I came across Vacasa and Evolve. It seems they offer this data as well as the purchase of STR real estate. A one-stop shop? I just don't know where to start. Of course I understand I'll be losing more of my income this way, but if it helps me make more, it's a no-brainer. 

If any of you have used these services and can provide some insight, I'll be forever grateful!

Paulette,

Thanks for sharing that awful experience. I came across your post just as I'm interviewing contractors for our first flip. So scary. Please let there be good people out there!  

I absolutely agree with posting a review about the experience! Maybe he'll learn a valuable lesson. And best of luck to you.
