They do not want to reveal the money trail (true source of funds).

Is this true?

Note that you’re dealing with a true bureaucracy.  

I'm not sure why that metric has held true but it still applies, the properties that perform well above that ratio are the owners that treat their STR like a business.

For most investors, to provide true separation would be cost prohibitive (between $10k-$15k). 

I've stuck with the tried and true reasons I've heard to keep my search ranking high (quality photos, stellar reviews, updates to my listing) and that helps but in slow season, when I'm not willing to cut my rates as much as some of my competitors, it can be a ghost town.  

I love that one Don  so true.. 

I'm not sure if its true.

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.  

While it's true I don't necessarily trust the pricing software algo, I really like the ease of accessing the data.
