These reviews typically highlight:✔️Location✔️ Cleanliness✔️ Host communicationNice to have, but not enough to differentiate your property in a competitive market.A Raving Review Markets It goes beyond the basics and helps future guests see the one-of-a-kind experience that only your rental provides. 

I think this is they way to go - landlords pay once, and if the building is lead-free, have the certificate on file so that future testing is not needed.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!

@Denise Supplee I appreciate you sharing part of your story/journey, it’s very motivating it’s a place I would love to get to one day in the near future. 

Each night of the week has a different price based on market trends for short term stays, not annual leases. 

Hopefully the industry will have more private construction inspectors in the future.
