In our America, with black guys using magic no-shave powder, bouffant and limp-locked blonde and mouse-brown-haired men who get away with one careless swipe at their whiskers with electrical contraptions, and Asian/Latino guys who are actually able to successfully use a dab of the perversion called "shaving gel" to remove the irregular wispy growth from their baby-soft-skinned chinny-chin-chins, the grim morning ablutions of the true warriors of the beard now often pass unremarked.Dang!

What I would do is take the time and look at each and every competitor listing to get an idea of occupancy and nightly rate and plan accordingly.What is your plan for the STR?

Therefore, if you have the best 4 family on the block and your rents are 3x as high as your competitors on the same block, you do not get rewarded when you sell for your good management.

Like what others said, you can copy what the competitors are doing in the area, but sometimes it's good to let a pro do it!

I left a couple appointments without getting the contract signed and lost those deals to my competitors.

Bottom line, you will pay more for the "convenience" and perceived "privacy" of selling with Opendoor or its competitors, and in the end, there's really no more privacy either way.

A good way to judge occupancy is to look at competitors calendars on Airbnb.
