This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

If you ever see someone offering terms that are too good to be true, you might as well just post your SS# and banking information on IG.

We are currently under contract on one of the lots.

I’d offer to sign the form if I was allowed to cross out everything between brokerage firm and during the terms.

@Jon Martin  I agree and in short term its just not worth what you will get in reviews for something like this. 

Understand your short term and long term goals.

I've used those before for shot-term funding for renovations/rehabs in projects.

Setting up direct bookings is a great way to save on fees, but you’re right—it requires extra effort to ensure everything runs smoothly.For vetting guests, start by asking a few questions when they inquire, like the purpose of their stay, how many people will be there, and if they’ve stayed in short-term rentals before.

At that point I dont know investing would make any sense, I have heard scary stories I was thinking about short term rentals but that needs constant cleaning after guests and conpetition is very high my friend spent almost 200k out of pockets to buy a property for airbnb and he got 17 bookings per year....

Used PSI last year, they did a bad job, the snow wasn't even bad last year and with several attempts asking them to do better within the terms of the contract, they still sucked.
