I’m inserting random images to make this post stand out. 

CA is a standout in this regard. 

Rental Income Consideration: If the property generated rental income while it was debt-financed, the portion attributable to the debt could have triggered UDFI.

Have some real estate under my belt but looking into Short term rentals opposed to long term rentals.Wondering if there is a stand out book to read to gain understanding for Australian Short Term rental market/AIRBNB.Also if there is a specific group for Australians and short term rentals for Australian market/Australian tax system etc, do point me to that.Rod

I'm always looking for ways to provide value to my tenants while making our rental properties stand out & this seems like an innovative (and cost effective!)

I really try to stand out from the remaining agents that only seem to care about their gut and their money being made, whereas I care about the service I'm providing.

These minor tweaks won’t cost you much, and I’ve seen them help properties in Phoenix and Chicago stand out, even when the paint is a tad faded.So what’s your take - do you think guests these days actually prefer a hint of authenticity over a picture-perfect exterior?

However, what I've learned is that for the most part, if most of your bookings are with guests that have a positive history (Airbnb/VRBO), your rates are competitive (to possibly slightly higher because you stand out, offer more, etc.), and you've made your House Rules clear, then don't sweat the small stuff.By that, I mean- you'll have guests who have 5-star ratings but can still leave a mess or damage (other owners didn't report accurately or it was complicated) but you have recourse via photo evidence (your cleaners, etc.) to ask for reimbursement (or use something like AirCover, etc.).

Actually, I did attribute the coaching fees over 6 month period and thought it's fair for someone like me with no experience in STR at all to start off and have the resources, design, coach, mentor all under one roof to give it a good shot. 

With the increased competition, it’s also crucial to prepare your listing to stand out and work to address buyer objections prior to going on market.
