My business partners and I are also big into helping other hosts.

In Philadelphia, both hosted and non-hosted stays are legal.

I am friends with Syed, the owner of Hostly.

Just because something worked for one host, doesn't mean it'll work for you since each market is different.

Join some local Facebook groups for hosts, and some local FB groups just for local residents. 

Read my books, blog posts, watch my YouTube videos, listen to the hundreds of podcasts I host.
