How are your MTRs getting booked?

Alex Ng
Posted

I recently posted an MTR. I haven't received any bookings yet. I'm trying to contact hospitals and insurance claims. I've put the property on Airbnb, facebook marketplace, padsplit, etc. How fast did you guys get a booking the moment you posted a MTR? How are you getting clients?

 @Alex Ng - Have you had any hits on Airbnb? I know you said no bookings, but any interest? 

When I'm advising clients on this, we start with making sure you are doing a whole house rental and that you are on Airbnb. The photos on Airbnb need to be professional (with the first photo being the outside or the kitchen.) The headline should also be strategic- take out anything that's vague or subjective (ex. light filled, spacious, near, cozy) and put in specifics (2 mi. to downtown, W/D in unit, etc.)
I also only focus on two platforms. For me, those are Airbnb and Zillow Rental Manager. I keep a 92% occupancy rate, so I'm confident those two can keep you booked. It just becomes a marketing and pricing issue.
