Some of my competition don't even bother with Airbnb. 

Whereas I (and others) continually urge them to stop being lazy and do their own research....go on VRBO and ABNB and look at the competition. 1) What are they charging?

As Andrew mentioned, you will have to be very price competitive to get January and February bookings.

It helps create an aspirational experience and can make the home stand out in a competitive market.

Our tools are a reflection of our ability to rationalize...This, in turn, is where the competitive advantage is.Think about it.

The tough part about New Jersey is that it is very competitive and very tight on inventory right now.

Raleigh/Cary is what I know well, but the competition is steep.

i think less competition is primarily going to mean less margin per deal. 

Your home needs to be in good shape (sounds like it is) and very competitively priced in order to have the few looking choose it instead of another option. 

wild. 8. if you dont want to close in an LLC, you can still close in your personal name. 9. there are lenders with competitive rates if long term rents are greater than 1.1 of debt on the property (PITIA). however, there are also lenders who will allow you to do 80% cash out refinances with DSCR if DSCR ratio is 1.0. there are lenders that allow you to buy real estate at 20% down EVEN IF DSCR ratio is only 0.8. which means the rents are less than the debt on the property.
