The only reason I can think of, is that they have some sort of deal with this middleman, and stand out to make a commission out of this.

Cities like Atlanta and Savannah, stand out for their stable market growth, making it an ideal option for the goals you mentioned.Below, I've listed a few cities in Georgia that align with your criteria.

You will need to do something to make you stand out.

Below is the median net worth of Americans by age according to a recent "Survey of Consumer Finances" conducted by the Federal Reserve.Under 35: $13,90035-44: $91,30045-54: $168,60055-64: $212,50065-74: $266,40075 and over: $254,800At this stage in your life, if you are ahead of the average American, what do you attribute your "success" to?

Having a stand-out property is pretty good protection against increasing inventory. 

I feel like starting with the golf simulator makes more sense and will help not only increasing nightly booking rates but also with occupancy as it is a unique attribute. 

Next, I would look at your state's laws, they may limit how you can bill tenants back for usage not specifically attributable to them.

The appt as always had a mustiness about it, not sure if that was attributing to the "smoke odor" but again we don't smoke.

I like painting bricks too with a one coat loxon xp extra white that house will stand out fast and look sharp! 

The photos that you have look good to me, but there's always room for improvement I suppose and if "the photos don't do this place justice", is the feedback that you're getting, then perhaps you can find a way for the photos to better represent the attributes of the property.
