My Airbnb is in a regulated urban area where my main competitors are hotels.

This doesn't mean it is impossible, it just means that you will need to find a way to stand out against your competitors.

---It's too time consuming and frustrates tenants to have an owner approve everything.NOTE: we have a local competitor that is known to break every maintenance request into separate Work Orders, so they all fall under the Owner Approval Threshold.

Carrot just makes SEO easier and more effective vs going w/ a custom site or our competitors (like LeadPropeller). 

., it is 100% possible to click on a competitor's PPC ad over and over until you run them out of their daily budget.

I think they are a new competitor to AirDNA.

One of our local competitors has only a 4-page contract.

@Bryan H. most of our competitors are NOT logical enough to do this:(

Easiest way is to just get on Airbnb and check your competitors.

To figure this out you might want to look at a few of your close in competitors and see what they're asking for the rent as if you get an idea of how long they've been on market.
