and do facebook ads.You'll get far more reliable success.Want my recommendation for a Good website host, just message me!

Any market can work, you should consider a market that you have some 'competitive advantage' compared to others.Think of an area that you grew up in, went to school, visit friends / family, visit often, best of luck.Also, do you have any experience in rentals / short-term rentals.Air-bnb's hosts have become 'commercialized'.You will not out-perform a host who has years of experience, does this 24/7 and has a team of support.Best of luck.

I ask them not to book since there is cancellation penalty for hosts.
