Quote from @Kenzer Hodgson: Quote from @Trent Reeve: personally, i think a dynamic pricing tool will pay for itself (should be around $20/month). it will help with far out/near time pricing, minimum stays, etc. 

A reliable tenant stays for many years, pays the rent on schedule, and takes good care of the property.Reliable tenants are the exception, not the norm.

., the actual management of the property & tenant play a large roll in how long tenants stay in their home.

Since you're new to real estate (according to the title), you really don't have anything to base it on other than your own personal experiences staying elsewhere.

They stay online forever.

I have thought about Ohio as well but may stay local and we definitely need to put time into our STR's to get them better.

But we can stay educated on trends.

I've largely stayed away from the "sub-to" buz word, but I have done a couple sub-to flips knowing that I only needed to hold onto them a couple months and I was prepared to pay off the notes if they were called.Sub-to for long-term hold on the other hand has me nervous. 

For example we had a group coming to stay for a wedding but after booking realized that it was almost 40 miles downlake from town.

In my opinion, your occupancy rate and min night stay seem in the ballpark for planning purposes at this stage.
