Hey Annie,For a house than can host 14 guests, you should be doing well and you're also a superhost, which helps increase bookings.

As a real estate agent and seasoned short-term rental (STR) host with over seven years of experience, I've seen the STR market evolve, especially post-2021, where competition is at an all-time high.

STR's I usually manage myself remotely or with a Co-host.

This is the internet and you can't have a copyright on every little thing.

I own 2 cabins in north Georgia and co-host 3. https://freedomfindervacationrentals.com

You can get co-host as low as 15% and PM as low as 18%.  

We decided it was worth it so we do share a lot for free on our LinkedIn account, instagram, and host free monthly webinars. 

I host a meetup in the South Bay that meets twice a month.

The more full Doc a loan is typically there is more documents, scrutiny, and ultimately a longer closing time frame where as a private bridge note can fund in 1-2 weeks the full doc rehab loan may take 40-70 days on average depending on a host of variables (your General contractor's documents, the appraisal, scope of work, etc).Its imporant to figure out what you're trying to do, what deal you have in front of you, your capability in terms of all loan products from DTI focused ones, the bridge private ones, your time frame to close (the type of seller you have before you), and execute with the best game plan.Best,@Matthew Kwan@Carlos Valencia

Use the STR calculator here on BP to see if it a lucrative market or over saturated and too competitive to make it without using a bigger platform to host it.
