First STR purchase - how to book listings quickly
Hey all, getting everything in order to purchase my first STR. Any ideas/strategies to use that help get bookings quickly after purchasing. Hoping to not sit on a place and have it unoccupied for awhile after initial purchase.

Hey @Brandon Del Boccio,
I will say that professional photos will make the difference if you are starting out. People like what they see if they do not have any other references.
Also, A clean property and a good smell make the whole package.
Good Luck!
