Since you've started running ads, have you joined any new groups or communities with hosts that are primarily focused on running ads as well?

And he is quite rough around the edges with some F bombs thrown in but then again the host was doing the same thing..

I attended a workshop hosted by a large business advisors firm.

Throwing three sets of strangers in a house without a host onsite is a recipe for disaster.Guests who rent rooms tend to cause more problems than guests who rent entire places.

I know many hosts have completely recouped all their down payment and furnishing costs within the first year just by doing a cost seg.

This clouds the title and makes it unable for the seller and cash buyer to close a transaction without your notice, since the title is clouded.

At the very end of the description, you say "This is a hosted rental." 

At least people have ratings on the OTA and I can see if other hosts have had issues.

Either the owner or the co-host will need to live locally in order to register.

To me this makes sense because a one bedroom can host 1-2 people easily with a competitive ADR and cleaning fee, while 4+ beds can host multiple families and split up a higher ADR between more adults. 2 bedrooms can be price competitive with 1 bedrooms and attract the same guest avatar plus small families or 2 couples.
