Usually it takes them weeks to respond and they come up with some crazy stuff like by business is paying for the trip and need to pay with a certified check outside the platform.

For ID verification, I typically rely on Airbnb’s built-in process, as it’s seamless and keeps everything within their platform.

You want a platform that seamlessly integrates with your CRM and customizable for your business.

These platforms can show which amenities are most sought-after in my market, helping me make data-backed decisions.ROI can sometimes be intangible, but even amenities that don't immediately show a monetary return (like higher satisfaction) often lead to long-term benefits, such as more positive reviews and increased visibility on Airbnb’s algorithm 

is there a way for me to create an online STR guestbook for free? 

This is a great platform to network and to continue to learn.Best of luck on your real estate journey.

I am not the most technical person but in this day and age, not being technical is even more reason to welcome opportunities to use platforms that help develop that skill. 

On the RE side - I own/developed 2,000 residential units across the United States focusing on opportunistic residential acquisitions and development, including student housing conversions and luxury multifamily development.On the startup side - it is a third-party guarantor platform that expands your renter pool, increases rents and occupancy, and ultimately boosts your NOI while broadening affordable housing options for renters.

What worked for me was listing on multiple platforms - Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and even local community bulletin boards.

This platform offers excellent networking opportunities.
