Try other places, and see if your belief of what matters most to Airbnb ranking matches the reality. 

I recall reading something in The Economist pointing out how these not-so-obvious markets often bring steadiness that flashier spots can’t always match.

But if find yourself trying to make the same argument's as the proud owner of some shinny new matching bracelet's, remember; we tried to warn you. 

I'd like to not "find out the hard way" if one of these sites are not a good match for me.The ones I'm considering are Propstream, Property Radar, ListSource, and PropwireSomething to note, I am looking to return to doing some wholesale deals, using criteria such as absentee owner, out of state owner, tax delinquent, vacant, liens, and pre-foreclosure..

Many people start out active because they want exposure to real estate and don't know that you can start out passive - you can effectively hire the asset manager and supply capital to the investment.You can have great success as an active or a passive investor - but it is important to understand the difference and to select whichever option matches your skills and resources the best.Good luck!

Structuring your lease in this way would benefit you by 1) locking in a longer term contract to avoid turnover costs and vacancy loss; 2) it moves your lease end date out of the winter season and into spring/summer of 2026 so it can be more easily marketed and re-rented to match the seasonal demand cycle; and 3) it avoids any upset/angry tenants who may have been incorrectly assuming their rent was going to stay in the $1,200 range after their first 6-month lease term.Would love to hear any updates you have on how this one shakes out for you though!
