To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

They'll likely have follow up questions about who handles maintenance, larger SD, etc... so be prepared to quickly answer these.Value to mention:- Professionally cleaned property after each stay and exterior upkeep- Staged photos that you can share with the owner for marketing purposes- Capex coverage up to $XX,000 (might need to include in SD)- Extra $XXX per month (likely may need to pay a little extra in rent to make it worthwhile, otherwise they can collect the same amount as LTR)Also, google "Airbnb apartments" or check their website.
