Can I manage my unit rather than have it managed by general management?

Absolutely. When the hotel condominium conversion is approved by Tallahassee, and the document is recorded in the court house,each hotel room becomes a legal condominium.The buyer of the condo will be named as the unit owner for his/her specific unit.(s)
If you have long term tenants, monthly , yes. if you do short term renting, like a hotel daily or weekly, you have to use the services of the hotel management company.
We can not have 150 realtors running through the hotel renting hotel rooms.
