First Time Hosts
I know there is a ton of information here which I will scour to get lots of info, but my wife and I are purchasing a home to use as a short term rental/place for my mom and dad to stay a couple months out of the year.
The property is 2 miles from where we live. What books or advice would you have for someone that is all new to this?
