Was drinking at the firehouse: took action—First STR listed

I found a 3 bed 2 bath house in a beachside municipality here in Florida where STRs are legal, and where the owner agreed to carry.  So in the space between the purchase of the house, new paint, and getting “scared” that the sheets I bought wouldn’t be the “right” ones, I read as much as I could here.  

It isn’t quite a month from closing, and the rest of the furniture will be delivered on Tuesday.  I was up crazy late last night, trying to figure out the new dashboard at VRBO. 

I have a live listing, folks!  

I’m sure I’ve done something wrong someplace, because it is new and mistakes will be made; but I took action anyway.  

The kitchen is older, so I’m cleaning with Murphy’s oil and am going to build cash and wait for a slower season to replace the kitchen.  

I’m still working on my Welcome Manual.

PLEASE give me a thumbs’ up for ACTION and add a tip that will minimize my first-timer’s jitters.
