I can't vouch for it, but the hosts of the Rookie podcast wrote a book about partnerships that may be worth reading before you take on a partner: https://www.amazon.com/Real-Estate-Partnerships-Acquire-Achi...

Many people love hosting influencers and others not so much.

Many hosts find a Fri-Fri or Sat-Sat strategy works best to maximize bookings since families often prefer a full week vacation, and it aligns with popular check-in/out days.

If you're interested, I can send you some Facebook groups that host meetups in the DFW area.

Do you enjoy hosting out-of-town guests in your home?

Appreciation is not as much as Santa Teresa though.I hosted a few open houses in the PebbleTree and Santa Teresa neighborhood a few months back and talked to the neighbors there, so feel free to reach out if there is anything specific you have question about!

You might want to join a group I co-host with @Jamie Banks called THE MTR Connect.

We use Hostfully as our PMS and list our properties on Google through their intergration.Ahh, dynamic pricing for MTRs.

There are a lot of other nuance, but thats the gist.I would recommend you find an agent that works with investors and can help you through these issues.In terms of meetups, my brokerage (Wayfinder Homes) hosts one every month in WS - Triad Real Estate Entrepreneurs Meetup.

The Worcester Investor Network hosts informal gatherings where experienced investors share their insights.
