@Jose N. you can do maintenance with band-aids or replace/upgrade the problem.Often cheaper overall to use band-aids to get as much "life" out of a system.Roofs for example.

Airbnb/VRBO do bring in about 60% of our bookings but that does leave another 40% to direct bookings and a combination of our other platforms (Marriott Homes and Villas, Booking.com, JetBlue and Allegiant Airlines, Google Vacation Rentals, and more). 

Have done some Googling, but glad you asked. 

You should get on @jasonwagner's distribution list for his Wagner report (google it). 

@Sharma Parth City of Flint is losing population, so not a great place to invest:(Detroit on the other hand, has been growing for the last 5-6 years and finally the US Census Bureau recognized that (please Google to verify!).

The Columbus OH is on fire because of the great macroeconomics - job growth, population growth, and major companies developing here (Intel, FB, Amazon, Google, etc.).

Its all about showing face for election time.edit: quick google search found this.

You can Google it. 

You might run some Google or Facebook Marketing and see if there's interest. 

They also have a pulse on who in the area has successful property management businesses (maybe themselves)3) Search direct booking sites in your area on google like "Vacation Rentals In Allentown" and see if websites pop up that are not airbnb or Vrbo you could reach out on.
