What else I learned was even if you have friends in the area, or even family, while they say no problem, as we get older we all value our time and it doesn't always feel right asking them to do stuff without compensation or with, but it is always tricky to work that relationship when they don't meet your expectations. 

@Jules AtonWe have started marketing to our guests as it is cheaper to keep a customer than to find a new one.

And then again, maybe I’ll dive into both simultaneously since I feel very confident from experience now.Like @Michael Baum Baum said, guests from both platforms can be quality (I vet to ensure this).

.✔️ Unique Amenities & Experiences – Raving reviews happen when guests feel like they got something they couldn’t find anywhere else.✔️ A Tailor-Made Stay – When guests feel like your property was designed specifically for them, they won’t just leave a raving review—they’ll be grateful to pay higher nightly rates for that experience.Your STR isn't just a stay, it's an experience. 

At the national level, it's the best of the worst in that industry - a lot left to be desired in the customer service department but still better than doing it on your own.

Together we make about 120k-ish and as were doing this, were actively paying down our credit card debt which together is about 20k at the moment, just fyi.I feel like this is a solid plan, but I'm not too big headed to admit that I don't know everything.

If you’re passionate about windows and doors, you should naturally have plenty to share based on your expertise and the questions your customers ask.The main purpose of your blog should be to educate and provide value to potential customers.

Feel free to message me interested, can i reach out? 

However, I feel like I need to offer Open Houses more than one day a month. 

Feel free to shoot me a message and we can see if I have anything that might be a good fit.
