Tho it seems Google Ads has changed their algo significantly in recent years, it's tough to keep up. 

I accumulated enough cash with the added $18K/year to purchase at foreclosure auctions, including the duplex I currently live in, now mortgage free.

Consider collaborating with local influencers or travel bloggers for exposure.Local partnerships: Connect with local businesses, wedding venues, or event planners for potential referrals.Targeted advertising: Use Facebook/Instagram ads to reach potential guests interested in Smoky Mountain getaways.Seasonality strategy: Adjust your pricing and minimum stay requirements based on local events and peak seasons.Long-term rental mix: Consider mixing in some medium-term rentals (1-3 months) during off-peak seasons for more stable income.Have you tried any of these strategies?

More of the same! Good news! 

Hey @James Rowe, here's a checklist I use:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yRo15uhzVS6Luk0YIBQZG16Tcm1b2V4NfCDetcP7ek/edit#gid=0You can get a sense of cost by adding up whatever you need or want to offer.

Make sure the language added to the contract includes being able to reinspect to ensure that the work has been done and/or receiving a certification or receipt from a professional providing proof the work has been done.

Then add staging, and now into marketing, how to pump it out there for maximum exposure, now we are paying all these sites to list and promote, burning a few hundred on FB ad's, a few hundred on this site, a few hundred on that site.

The would mean you are now spending $400/mo on your housing cutting your monthly expenses by $600 or adding $600 to your income each month not to mention tax benefits and appreciation.I think once you have a house hack, you look into buying a value-add property and BRRRRing it.

I added my latest rental property to Stessa then clicked the button to syndicate with Zillow, Trulia, and Hotpads.

If they are manipulating the numbers or adding charges that were not fully disclosed and agreed to in the PM Agreement, then I would demand they stop.
