What property management company are you with?   

Hi Katie, hiring a VA to manage the admin tasks for your STR can reduce your workload and stress, but as the OP mentioned most VAs are task oriented and need clear instructions.

Hi everyone, I’m a software engineer based in Michigan, currently working at a startup.

I am a property manager in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.

I currently own a few properties in Columbus, OH with my wife.

I was looking into for sober living for one of my properties. 

Hey @Mark Trumble - our team for property managment does drivebys once a quarter, someone walks through the property twice a year for a visual inspection, and property owners do their own professional inspections every few years. 

Most property management software will include access to relatively generic, state-specific leases, but I highly recommend you take whatever lease you're starting with to an attorney, especially if you are operating out of California.

Property management in NJ has to be carried out under a licensed broker.

I use those for creating leases, background checks, and managing payments.
