Whether it's optimizing listings on OTAs, leveraging social media, running targeted ads, or using dynamic pricing tools—I'd love to hear what’s working for you.Some strategies I’ve been exploring include: Enhancing property listings with professional experience photography and compelling descriptions, leveraging Instagram and Facebook ads to attract more direct bookings, and utilizing email marketing to engage past guests.What’s been a game-changer for your vacation rental business?

Was it through networking, direct-to-seller marketing, or just keeping an eye on the market?

Or you can directly meet them by registering to real estate events around you: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings 6.

The first time they break rules (unless it is a direct danger to people/property) I have a kind chat with them and make sure they understand what they did was against the rules.

But, if I were in that situation I would probably not be buying any directly owned properties at all (and would instead be investing in a diversified fund).

They are familiar with you and can give you direction and documentation.  

I was hoping it would be posted somewhere in the forum so I wouldn't have to bother you directly but it does not seem to be.Thanks for contributing to the Bigger Pockets community in this way

I would push for very low or no money down but having a Realtor that needs to have their fee paid it may still not work.Look up the owner if possible through truepeoplesearch.com and call them up directly.

Or you could go directly to the HR departments of these companies. 

We would like to have more individuals that we deal with directly.
