I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

I don't allow instant booking if they have any reviews less than 5 star.

It's not a real common concept here in DFW area, but I love it.Buyers have no downtime, no rent rate risk, lower vacancy risk, potentially instant cash flow day 1. 

Hey @Brendan Connolly, so good on the single night stay with no instant booking.

its funny how this changes with time and the market on BP  if you asked this question 5 to 7 years ago you get drowned out with the cash flow is the ONLY thing and appreciation is for gamblers my self I have always been about making appreciation games in RE.. by either value add building a new product or buying foreclosure and flipping or lending money and getting instant 12% plus returns . 

We also allow instant book but only to folks that have positive reviews.  

With few exceptions people do not see something for the first time, decide "I NEED THAT" and make an instant purchase.Ideally, each time the customer is exposed to you, they are left with an impression / touch.

This instant gratification world kills America at its  yet keeps it going.

Even in the off-season - you can optimize visibility by setting competitive pricing, using high-quality photos, and enabling Instant Book with flexible policies.For older listings, try adjusting prices with dynamic tools, highlighting upgrades, and regularly updating your title, photos, or descriptions to stay fresh in search results.These tweaks can make a big difference!

I see it from a guest's POV if they booked a place and show up to something that looks shabby, then instantly you are starting off on the wrong foot.
