very cool, I will check it out!  I just sold my VR in Tahoe Donner this past August so we will be needing a place to stay!

If you ever need a place to stay in Princeville let me know.  Our website is paradiseattheplantation.com.  

 I have a few friends with places in Branson.  That is a great market!

Suggest to the community that they require Noiseaware for all units operating as a STR. It is a really simple solution.

No, but they do have an app store so I am guessing over time they will add it.  I tried pricing software (maybe beyond pricing) and it really did not reflect what was happening in my area.  I am able to get much higher rates based on what they suggested but my area is unique.

I am on Kauai and my occupancy was 89% last year.  I primarily use VRBO and then Airbnb to fill the small gaps and that strategy has worked out well.  I only open my Air calendar 3 months out.  How can I find your place?  I would love to take a look.

I say YES!  I had a client that recently had the same issue and she went the 30-day route and it has worked out VERY well for her.  She has hosted some great clients.  I think it is an untapped opportunity that is definitely worth looking into.

If you do go the 30-day route make sure that you require weekly cleaning so that you can be sure that the condo is being cared for.

I use MyVR and love it.  It makes managing my place super simple and acts as a channel manager as well so I no longer need to access Homeaway, Airbnb, VRBO, TripAdvisor, Etc.

If you are looking to scale or just save time I highly recommend you look into their platform. I run multiple businesses so streamlining is important to me.

I just set up all of my autoresponders a few weeks ago and I would say that this platform is going to save me hours!  I could not be happier!

Looking to connect with other vacation rental owners, hosts and managers!  My property is located in Princeville, Hawaii!  

Awww.....Thanks Daria!  

@Anthony Pinto I am happy to answer any questions you have.  There is a lot to consider as a new host and you will learn as you go! Feel free to message me with any questions that come up.  Congratulations on your new journey!

You should expect to pay anywhere from 15% to 45% depending on the company and service.

I self manage.

Best to self manage if you can.  I save myself 12K a year.  My rental is in Kauai.
