Driving relevant traffic to both a website and socials is hard without throwing some money behind it.

With my background in hospitality and a drive to create exceptional guest experiences, I decided to take the leap.

Marketing & Bookings: Besides Airbnb and Vrbo, what strategies help drive direct bookings?

Focus on driving for dollars during free time, and set up automated mail campaigns to keep leads flowing.

Vrbo automates the basics, but beyond the basics I will promptly answer.

I would be interested in meeting up with fellow investors whether it be in the metro or northfield owatonna or anywhere else Inbetween as I am regularly driving through those areas already.

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

Flipping it will take time if you have to sell.Plus a home like that doesn't lend itself to a LTR unless there is a demand for high end rentals.What I would like to see is some examples of what you are looking at along with basic numbers you have run so far.

@Alec Jacobs I have basic low/no fee business checking accounts.

Some questions for the people with experience: What are some basic landlord problems I will most likely run into?
