Vacation Rental Vs. Longterm Rental

I have a beachfront home that I would rent out when I wasnt here living in it. If you plan to not be living here when you are renting out, the first order of business is to acquire a property manager. There are a few businesses that do that sort of work but they are going to be costly. That said, if you rent out for a long term (3 months or more) there will be less wear and tear on your apartments. If you do daily rentals and such it will be a nightmare on cleaning the units every other day, etc. Most luck I had in obtaining a good rental pool (besides listing on the FaceBook Roatan pages) is Airbnb or Flipkey. A long term unit is rare and usually snatched up quickly due to the rarity. When you rent it out: is the bottle water included? what about the RECO? WIFI? these are requests and you’ll have to provide those services to be marketable. Let me know if you want to dive deeper into a Q&A with me.
