People touring a house can be mighty inconsiderate.

The trip I just took from SF to Tennessee was solely to take a tour with a real estate investor and to drive around to look at property. 

A lot of people don’t realize this, but in addition to real estate agents selling stuff, they are also being sold, every brokerage, every title company, even lenders, have courses on literally scripts, how to build out your social media, how to find fsbo listings etc, truth is none of these are effective, pretty much the only way to be a successful agent is either ton of ad spend or the hard work of meeting people in person through events meetups etc, but brokerages make money by head count, even title and lenders are happy if you close a few deals a year with them, so they sell this stuff to agents who than use those scripts on you, it’s a whole prymond scheme lol these are the reality these days, until next few years maybe even more slower due to "virtual tours" and such..

I would also consider what is your target audience, is it bachelorette parties, wedding guests, wine tour guests, casino goers, etc?

You MUST have video, that's a must, video tour, so they can tour it right then and there.     

Everyone has opinions but some are not based in reality.If you are not providing significant services, like daily cleaning, on site chef for meals, custom tours etc. you should be filing on a schedule E. https://theshorttermshop.com/is-short-term-rental-schedule-e...

Let me know when you're free for a tour. 

They could only help in some touring and then drafting the lease and get it signed.

He likes to chit chat with neighbors while touring.

Touring properties is super important when you're thinking about investing in real estate.
