UPDATE: The Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) compliance timeline has been moved to now start on February 1, 2025 (this was previously set to start in October)Any short term rental advertised through a platform remitting the hotel occupancy tax to the State of Texas (such as Airbnb or VRBO) will begin paying the San Antonio HOT directly to the city monthly through the platforms.

Also advertising on the classifieds here. 

It’s impossible to advertise a contract without also advertising the property itself, which you can’t do without a license. 

Most have exited since the earlier thread's activity, so I'm starting a fresh thread asking members here, did you participate in any of the completed deals and was your experience and return as advertised?

Where are you advertising?

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I don't advertise on Craigslist and FB marketplace-I rely on word of mouth  so people know before they come to my house they WILL be tested multiple times a week and WILL have to go to AA meetings, do their chores and be a TEAM player with the rest of the house. 

So they advertise later they will have quick rent payments but I don’t bank with “Thread.”

However, you could do a mix of both, for example you could create paid advertising to promote specials/rates, partner with a local restaurant to have some type of a collaboration that includes a free drink with a stay, or you could switch to longer rentals.

For SA market, what method have y'all found most beneficial to advertise SFRs?
