We have perfect feedback and Premier Host, and allow Instant book, but do not have a liberal cancellation policy and have some rules in place (4 day minimums, for example) and are not fighting the cheapo battle, and we tend to get somewhat buried in the search rankings.One of the things that really burns my *** about VRBO is that they allow the property owner to self select the type of property that it is rather than forcing it into where it belongs.

Talking JUST on normalized revenues, payroll self $5m annually......

This isn't including other expenses I know but I was planning to self manage the property and hope rates continue to go down so I could refi in the future and gain more margin in rental income.After further analysis and speaking with a friend thats a real estate agent I may want to shift my original plan and sell it.

It was hard work, dirty work, nobody liked doing it but, it was guaranteed work and $ to feed one's self and family. 

I truly want to help good renters out where/when I can.What is considered a reasonable amount of time for an increase (would be 10% increase), w/o putting my self in a position of trying to catch up to market rents at some point in the future.

Additionally, you might want to install a fence with a self-locking gate and make sure all pool equipment is up to code.

Ultimately self-managing saved him $5700 in one year! 

@Chris SeveneyWe are in self storage.  

I love reading and listening to podcasts about entrepreneurship, self help, and business.

Initially signed up for property management for few months before I'm mentally prepared to start self-managing.
