You can advertise historic performance.  

>How well do log cabins in the area tend to perform in terms of bookings?

We are in Los Angeles, and although we do not own anything in SD, we hold a loan on a portfolio of SFR's there that is not performing at the moment.

One thing NOT in their contracts is their performance numbers.

I currently own a successful short-term rental in Fort Lauderdale and have identified a new property nearby that I’m confident will perform well.

I even do write ups on my blog where I share their performance and outline the challenges I faced with each one.Why do I do this?

Alternatively if they all love the deal, that's also likely a good sign.You can get a dog of a property in a crap neighborhood that will yield a 13.6% gross cap (not saying yours is), but that certainly doesn't tell the whole financial picture of how the asset will perform.

I performed the BRRRR on one property with the intent of attracting an elderly couple (which I did and they love the place).

Think I better clarify - this isn't an altruistic attempt to help VRBO 😄, but rather a hope that it might result in a higher overall booking rate if both platforms perform at a high level

I am perfectly fine holding X amount in real estate.If I do see an opportunity another option is to lock it up and sell one of my existing if I think this property will perform or appreciate significantly more.
