It makes sense for Airbnb/VRBO's algorithm to shoot new listings to the top of the search ranks to "reward" new hosts for coming on the platform.

In the last 3 years, I've worked with over 650+ new Hosts. 

STR even more than LTR are management intensive and the host can make or break the ROI. 

Here are some articles to review in the meantime:1. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/how-affordable-...2. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/why-padsplit-is...

We have had hosts on the platform since then that are continuing to do well and add units.

I have 4 STRs including 2 for 25 years and I consulted the co-host for local cost estimates.  

It's just more ******** that hosts are having to put up with all across the board.

Sure, I am a real estate agent with a team and I host a YouTube channel.

Natlie Palmer who is a well-known STR host, just posted this topic on Instagram and you would find some helpful info here...Natalie Palmer-Insa Also make sure your marketing copy, photo captions, and photos themselves, are calling to the guest avatar you want in the property.

@Jonathan Bremner Happy to talk about investing over here in WNC sometime if you like, to make intros that might be helpful, and to host you at one of our monthly BP meetups in Asheville.
