The plan was to buy a warehouse, lay down turf and hard courts and lease the space to local schools and leagues and host tournaments.

There is a good one in the Stamford area hosted by Brandon Chisholm.  

Perhaps it could be a result of the post-COVID market adjustments.More STRs on the MarketInitially, I didn’t feel the competition because my Airbnb is a studio, but since I’ve started working with other Airbnb hosts, I’ve noticed there’s definitely more competition than I thought.

For the additional features we need that STR apps don't provide, we do the following.esignatures.io for lease signingKeyCheck for background checksOtherwise everything I need is covered by Hostfully, Breezeway, VR Platform, and a few other apps

The truth is, a good host will spend time managing each rental.

It does really eat into your revenue, but if you're convinced you can't manage it yourself from a distance, you will need either a PM or a co-host.

Use tools like:Airbnb Analytics: Monitor impressions, clicks, and overall CTR.IntelliHost: Analyze your listing for category placement and CTR improvements.RankBreeze: Track your listing's performance and ranking changes.You can also A/B test your photos by rotating lead images or running Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads to measure which photo drives the most engagement.The Airbnb algorithm is continuously evolving and every host should pay attention as new features are rolled out. 

Offer a great first-stay experience with thoughtful touches like welcome gifts and clear communication to earn those initial positive reviews.For Big Bear’s rules, stay on top of local ordinances—maybe even connect with other hosts for advice.

Because of that I decided to exit the market as a co-host.
