Hey everyone! We manage about 45+ STRs in Indianapolis. Love connecting with others and learning as much as I can! So I have a question..... For those of you who’ve been in the short-term rental game for a while, what...

There are a number of meetups in Sacramento and we have been coordinating the dates among hosts so that there is no overlap - I run the West Sacramento Meetup that @Ben Howard mentioned (we gather every 4th Tuesday of the month).Here is a list of meetups that we're in collaboration with (they are all based on an abundance mindset that we have here on BP)- 1st Tuesday - REI Connect @ Roseville Meetup (reach out to @Nicole Masters)- 3rd Tuesday - Investor Mixer @ Crawdads on the River- 3rd Thursday - Folsom Out of Bounds (dates may shift a bit)- 3rd or 4th Wednesday - Real Estate Round Table (CH Cafe & Grill) - they recently relaunched and stabilizing the schedule- 4th Tuesday - West Sacramento Real Estate MeetupI'm working on putting together an easy to access list that Sacramento investors can refer to.

The market is a bit trickier because you need to be a good host to the residents while being a good vendor to the paying client.

But as soon as you make a direct booking site and start an escrow account (among other things) you then cross that legal boundary between a co-host and a property manager needing a broker license (depending on your state).We CO-HOST for others and remain separated from those legal parameters that would consider us a property manager.

The agreement between PadSplit and hosts has changed over the years but the platform has gotten so much better.

We host a monthly investor meetup, and there are many others like it...

She is an investor-friendly agent, investor, and STR host.

My question wasn’t owning vs co-hosting vs arbitrage.

There are a few highly rated HipCamp hosts in our area that have 'U-Pick' farms of produce and/or petting zoo type animals, and they've added a handful of RV sites to go along with it.  

Quote from @Ryan Moyer: STR Hosts: I proactively dish out refunds like cookies to make sure I only get 5* reviews.Also STR Hosts: Why are guests such entitled brats nowadays that demand a refund for every little tiny issue?
