Just 40 guests, it would be a total circus.

With the tech I am using (a lesser known PMS) I am able to automatically screen guests, get their selfies, write leases, and collect deposits in my work flow even for Airbnb guests.

Guest breaking down their markets and strategies gave me a lot of insight.

I believe in servicing both owner and guests.

A lot of people are giving you advice without enough context as to what you would like to do other than get a higher than 3% cash on cash return and other than only putting down 20% - 30% as a down payment.Something that is important to know to give proper suggestions is what you want the investment to do for you and how active you want to be in the investment.In general, the more active you are, the higher your return, the less active you are, the lower the return because you pay for others to do that work for you.

@Mike Lambert recently posted about how a guest thought the hide-a-bed couch he has wasn't comfortable so it is important to choose one that is great to sit on.

My properties average 4.9 star cleaning rating, which is hard to accomplish given how petty some guests can be.

Case in point, I picked up some turkish blankets with great color and pattern on Etsy that looked awesome in my photos, and one of them was gone by guest #3.

Many hosts have success with a mix of RVs, tiny homes, and prefab cabins to attract different types of guests.

As an alternative, you could supply guests with a dog blanket to put on the the sofa.
