They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

I emphasized the quick closing timeline and my ability to pay cash via hard money financing to strengthen my offer.

Go check and see what others are charging.I guess I have to ask what does it offer that would make people want to stay there?

Was one of 5 offers.

Any pricing-related tool offered by the OTA itself (think of VRBO, booking etc) is there to ensure you are getting heads in beds at any rate possible, just to ensure they are getting paid. 

They each offer very different options, and each have different STVR rules as well.  

But given I've paid for snow removal like once ever, I don't know what I should offer someone who is not a "pro" and already has an idea of their rate. 

The metric we track is how many offers we send out.
