In my case, I rented for one week in July and one week in August, so the owner technically shouldn't have any more guests for either of those months.

To make a long story short, for one property you are not going to save $ in the long run and realize materials can take 6-16 weeks to arrive. 

It took us a couple of weeks but we slowly increased their rankings unit they were on page 1 (based on search parameters of course) and they got a 10 day booking soon thereafter.We use Price Labs to check out the date of the last booking.

I realized this again when we had a traveler cancel her lease about a week before moving in.

Meeting with a lawyer later this week to see if I have any case here but wanted to provide a brief update in the interim.

I will be fully moved to Denver over the next couple of weeks.

I was eager to get one on the board and moved the dates up a week.

Each week, I analyze the MLS, exploring cities and towns across South Florida to identify areas favorable (or not) to short-term rentals.

So Just spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica,  stayed in three different towns all on west cost.  

We try to set up at least 3 timeslots each week when we can schedule all the showings to minimize the tenant interuptions.If they won't cooperate or cancel too many scheduled showings, we warn them we will pursue collections to the fullest extent of the law.
