Quote from @Zeona McIntyre: @Zach Howard I am working on a how-to book on Creative Financing now (I am the author of BP's book on Mid Term Rentals) because when I was teaching myself I was frustrated at the lack of clear instruction.

I get 2 or 3 bookings in a whole year from them.Given my high prices I am happing with the simplicity of getting the bookings from VRBO I do advertising other places such as local FB groups for Lake houses.Ultimately VRBO is king for me. 

Even though it was a serviceable rental property before with an exceptionally low risk of harming anyone, you would have destroyed the value of the property for yourself, the community, and those seeking a place to live. 

They are managing my long terms rentals there and their service is reasonable.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Per our signed agreement, I gave him 30 days notice of termination of his services via email and asked him to remit all outstanding payments and documentation (he hasn't delivered an owner's statement since June of '24) and assist with the transition to the new PM company.He responded to one text a couple weeks ago when I asked for an update on the transition saying he hadn't received notice from me or heard from the new PM.

I'm a new real estate investor and I recently picked up Brandon's book "Rental Property Investing"..

This step by step process is all laid out in Scott Trench's book "Set for Life".

Yes it will most likely bring in a few more bookings as a cool amenity.

Also, make sure you’re familiar with HOA rules if your property is in a community with one.As for vendors, we’ve found that networking with other STR owners or joining local Facebook groups can be a goldmine for handyman, cleaner, and pool service recommendations.
