@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

I've also met him in person and I found him to be knowledgeable and genuine.

Everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable and pleasant.

Build a strong team, including a knowledgeable realtor, lender, and contractors, and spend time understanding your local market dynamics, especially in areas like Orlando or Tampa where demand is strong.

Accessibility and local knowledge above everything else. 

Be so amazing with your depth of knowledge that people want to work with you instead of you having to convince them you are worth giving business to.      

Zeona is a prolific real estate agent with a ton of knowledge, she has been an Airbnb host since 2012 she has over ten years of being a short-term rental property manager and consultant.

Or put in your interest rate here, and your loan balance there.The art is where I think most people struggle, and I don't think this can really be done without real world knowledge.  

Instead, you’re attacking a strawman and questioning the knowledge/character of others.

@Annwar Zahrieh I'm glad you recognized the forums being a wealth of knowledge.
