Quote from @Lawrence Mitchell: I've read a few books on real estate and something the majority of them had in common was the BP community so I would like to see what it has to offerHey @Lawrence Mitchell, welcome to the BP Forum!

We were hoping for another 5-star to start with an official 5-star review but we got the review that kills, a 4-star bringing us down to 4.67 below the direct competition and also with a content that I think could prevent further bookings.

Our goal is to have a small but mighty portfolio, much like Chad Carson’s model he describes in his book and podcast.

I am currently reading books and educating myself about private lending.

OwnerRez – A comprehensive PMS (property management system) that handles bookings, guest communication, and even direct booking websites. 3.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Read a lot of books, and am looking to put my knowledge to practice.

I don't do instant booking and chat with each and every guest.

I almost never get calls, most people send a message via Vrbo or Airbnb if needed, but it it much more common for them to just instant book with no questions.

I’m always thinking about how something will photograph so my other advice is to make sure the photos are top quality because that’s all someone has to go off when booking.
