If they indicate they will leave a positive review, the survey will direct them to the proper OTA to leave that positive review.If they indicate they will leave less than a 5-star review, trigger an email to the host/assistant for immediate follow-up.

I also suggest Michael Gerber's "The E-Myth Revisited" as well as his "E-Myth Real Estate Investor" collaboration with Than Merrill and Paul Esajian.Remember - 90% of this business is marketing so don't let all the other stuff, like obsessing over business cards, get in the way of that.Good luck!

I do look to grow beyond two properties, but not necessarily at a rapid pace.Finally, if I were to do this, what are the proper steps in forming an LLC and then transferring them into that entity?

Housing prices in two of our larger cities (Vancouver and Toronto) are also crazy high (eg $1M to buy a starter home)...actually in Vancouver proper at the moment the cheapest home (single family, not strata) is $1.2M...surprisingly (to me) in Toronto the cheapest home on the market is $650K (ignoring some listed for $1 as clearly there is a catch).Our mortgages work differently than in the US, and what we get for rates are only locked in for 1-5 years (typically) and then we have to renew at whatever the current rates are.

I also reached out to Proper Insurance, but they informed me that they can't offer their standard policy due to the elevated fire risk at my property.
