It's a very manual process, but the more steps you have to take means that your competitors likely aren't doing the same.

I have not used any of their competitors but they are a crucial part of my business.

You seem priced a bit high compared to your competitors whom, from what I can tell, have slightly nicer and more updated accommodations. 

He has at least 2 or 3 nearly identical posts, bashing a company that is his direct competitor (even though he makes it very clear that they are not competitors 🙄), so that could warrant a post coming down.

Although I dont have properties in your target area, I'm a developer and have experience with short term rentals so feel free to reach out.One think I would recommend is to check your competitors and see how much they are charging and what types of experiences they are offering to the guests.

You might be thinking of other investors as competitors rather than your closest allies.

It may not affect a single deal, but if you get a reputation in your area as someone who isn't reasonable, is always trying to save another $1000, then you run the risk of other professionals calling your competitors instead of you when deals come up.Being easy to deal with and understanding that the other guys need to make a buck too goes a long way.

You may find that even if competing houses aren't offering granite or other upgrades it may pay to install it so that your property will sell faster and closer to list price than your competitors.

They are strong competitor.
