We also got them to have it professionally cleaned, ducts cleaned, they threw in some furniture for free, paid a lot of the closing costs that buyer usually pays, paid most recent mill levy instead of prior years taxes, paid my 2.8% commission, etc. because it is a buyers market and that's what you can negotiate in a buyer's market. 

One very powerful tool is the built in analytics and graphs that Vrbo has.

Adding mass to the walls works wonders—attach Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) to the shared wall, then cover it with a layer of 5/8” drywall using Green Glue soundproofing compound for extra noise-blocking power.

We successfully set up the co-hosting on Airbnb where I receive the agreed upon 18% + the cleaning fee.

If the unit is empty, change the locks, clean it, and get it rented.

Never underestimate the power or preparation and setting yourself up for future success! 

And don’t underestimate the power of direct outreach; some sellers may be more flexible if you present a clear, structured plan for partnership or financing.

You'd be delivering BIG and powerful solutions.
