@GlobalWealth, have you heard about anyone investing in houses in more secluded places to appeal to a different type of a tourist? Do you think it could work or is it crucial to get a place in a central location?
Also, what is your process of looking for a property manager? Do you just go to the top real estate companies and ask? I guess it's key to find somebody you can trust as you can't really control what's happening on a daily basis and a few bad reviews can ruin your profile on Airbnb.
And just curious: do you offer welcome baskets to guests? As a guest, I always think it's a nice touch (and actually started expecting it in each place) but it obviously adds to expenses, plus somebody has to go to the store and buy it.
I have seen remote vacation properties for short term rental. I am sure it can be done but just like in any real estate investment - location is critically important. If you find some property that gets a lot of tourists but remote I am sure it can work.
As for pm's. You do whatever it takes to find someone you trust. That is key. Ask around with locals. Meet some real estate agents. Stay at some airbnbs and talk to other owners. It requires work. No real formula here.
We don't really do baskets but we do leave the place stock with some food essentials like coffee, tea, condiments, etc.
