Quote from @Tara Omotere: Starting October 27, Airbnb will raise the service fee they charge hosts from 15% to 15.5%.

I also think that in a worst case scenario, if you are attempting to occupy but just need to finalize the eviction process, and it goes a little past 60 days, then you are in full compliance with the intent to occupy and the lender will probably give you some leeway.

Our competition - not in reality, but on paper/on the computer screen where people can't objectively compare what they are getting - is a lot of other people who have owned for many years, don't really keep the places up beyond a bare minimum, and just want to have it full 75% of the time so they can use it in the winter or for holidays.

I'll focus my answer in digital property management vs local property management.In recent year it has been an overflowing of digital property management companies, many of which are not making any many and constantly investing in customer acquisition, that is the main reason that you see so low coat on their offering.If you go to stablish digital property management like belong home you will see that prices are similar than a local property management and they make you save many offering you additional services at no cost.You have to evaluate what would it be the additional work that you will have to do to get at the same level than the local PM.You have to analyze this as a business owner like any other services that you will buy from a service provider. 

Not even garbage service out there..
